Thanks Scott. It was the P vs D spec issue that was coming back to haunt me. My foray into RPG IV and ILE over the past couple of years has been:

1. Simple conversion to RPG IV syntax and using new op codes and built-ins
2. Replacing subroutines with sub procedures
3. Calling C routines and others from the RPG programs
4. Moving to /free syntax
5. Building everything in WDSc and using only RPG IV

Most of this has been "seat of the pants" development with some reading ("The Modern RPG IV language" and "Free-Format RPG IV" are kept close by) and lots of searches.

My next steps will take me into modules and binding and all the other stuff I haven't had to do from "scratch" (yet).

So, if I understand you correctly, I will always have a "main" procedure that will be coded with D specs that has both a procedure prototype and a procedure interface if I plan to call the program from CL (for example). Anything else coded would probably be a sub procedure that would use P specs for the procedure interfaces.

I'll file this in a safe place in case I get confused again.

Pete
