Re: Is There A Better Way To Grab Parameters?

You do it exactly the same way with the exception of the fact the PR line

and the program object itself will be an uppercase name.
I have never used the ExtPgm( ) keyword on PR interfaces that are used to replace *Entry PLIST interfaces. Works just fine.


However, that is for PR's coded inside of the program. I haven't gotten organized enough to actually put them in /Copy members (but I will eventually thanks to some tips from Paul and Jon - as well as bashing from them at COMMON). In which case the ExtPgm( ) keyword doesn't hurt and would be necessary in the programs that actually call said program.
