Definitely do this - more flexibility in defining parameters with
prototypes than with *PLIST

The prototype should be called the name of the program. Follow the PR
statement with the parameters - you can use LIKE and all that in the
keywords. Then put in the PI - procedure interface - can be right
away. Just use the same parameter definitions as the PR and you are good to
go.

I don't know about "better", but the ILE way is to define a prototype for
the main procedure of your program.

Well, I guess it is better because you can then share the prototype with
others and the compiler will check for inconsistent parameters.

Is there a better way to grab parameters in a RPG program? For years I
have
use the *entry plist. Is there a new way to do that in V5R3 or V5R4
better?
