RE: Best practices for using code in a mixed OPM/ILE environment

Be aware that QZRUCLSP can only handle 10i0 return values, and only
supports up to 7 parameters. It is a good suggestion though.

Hi, John:

Since V4R4, there is an API called QZRUCLSP that allows OPM programs to
call a procedure in a service program. (See the InfoCenter API finder
for details.)

Or, you could always write a small "wrapper" or "jacket" program that is

an ILE bound *PGM that calls the service program procedure, and can be
called directly by OPM *PGMs (possible since V2R3).

Cheers,

Mark S. Waterbury

The best practice would be to merge the program with the subprocedure

in the

source,
either inline or with copybooks.

I have an expanded copybook precompile at

www.rpglanguage.com/copybook.html.

It allows for copy by line number, so all your subprocedure can be in

one

source member.

All -

I have a subprocedure in a service program that I want to use in an

OPM

program. What is the best practice for doing this?

At this time, I can't convert the OPM program to ILE.

Do I just need to write another RPGIV program which calls the ILE
subprocedure that can be called by the OPM program?

- sjl
