Re: How to Handle LR Indicator Return Situation In Free-Format CALLP

Good point. I do not see any replacement for it when using the callp op code.  Add a parm to the call to return if the calling program has set on LR. That's my first thoughts.
 Good Luck

Thank you, Bill, but this would be the EQ indicator on a fixed-format CALL, NOT the LO indicator.

The LO indicator checks for an error; I know how to handle it with the E operation extender and %error. 

The EQ indicator checks if the called program is an RPG program or main procedure that returns with the LR indicator on.  That's the one I'm trying to figure out how to replace in /free.

Thanks!

It would be:

// callp(e) checks for an error on calling the program. Same as using the Low Indicator in fixed format

callp(e)   YourCalledProgram
If %Error;
*Inlr = *On;
Return;
Endif;

Subject: How to Handle LR Indicator Return Situation In Free-Format CALLP

I'm trying to convert a fixed-format RPG program to ILE free-format.
Unfortunately, it has a CALL with an indicator in positions 75 and 76 to
check if the program returned with the LR indicator on.  I want to
convert that CALL to a free-format CALLP, but I'm not sure how to handle
that LR indicator situation.



Is there some way to use the program status data structure and check for
a status of 00001?



It just irks me no end to have to leave that one section of the program
in fixed format with a /end-free and a /free.  Thanks in advance for any
help you can give.
