Re: Prototyped call question?

In the program I'm looking at there is a prototype defined as follows:

c callp program(field1:field2:field3) I've searched the source and there is no other reference in the source for 'Program'. There are also no copy directives. When the callp is executed, an external program is called. How is this possible when their is no extpgm keyword in the prototype?

Is there another module bound in to the program? Perhaps it has a procedure called "program" that actually does the call?


Also, what is the significance of the 'N' indicator datatype in the prototype definition?

That means that the program is returning an indicator.
