Re: Plain old RPGLE program in /Free

The "main" is named the same as your program.

Now if you are creating a service program with NOMAIN in the H-spec, you won't have this - only subprocedures.

I wish the ILE RPG manuals were clearer about how to replace *ENTRY PLIST with a procedure interface like this!!

Just trying to muddy the waters some more!

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.
