Re: Prototyped call question?

Possibly a binding directory either in the H spec, In the H Spec Data
area, or in the CRTBNDRPG command.

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

Dprogram pr n
D 10a
D 2a
D 1a

Then later in the program...

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.
