I don't know how you declare MAIN - you always get a main procedure, unless you say NOMAIN in an H-spec - I do believe there is a change at V6R1 in this area - I won't go there.

A so-called MAIN is the first (or only) module. In CLLE, that is always the main procedure - in RPGLE, it is the first module and must not have the NOMAIN specified.

But I don't understand the thing about not being able to use CALLP - you can always use CALLP, as Scott said - absolutely no time you can't. You simply must have a prototype for what you are calling - CALLP means //"Call a Prototyped Procedure or Program" <http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/books/c0925083624.htm> - not "Call Procedure", by the way. Can you give us the statement that seems confusing?

A google of CALLP ot me this little article by Paul Tuohy - you will have to join SearchTarget, but it's free and a safe site -

If you mean "what gets bound when I create a program/srvpgm
containing the CALLP" the answer is "the modules and service
programs you told it co bind".

Yes, that's what I meant to ask. I thought that binding the modules M1 and M2 meant some kind of copying of the code into the program object.
What I wanted to know was, if in M1 I have a CALLP to another program, then I think the code of that program is not duplicated in my calling program.


None of this is really related to cycle-main vs. main vs.
subprocedure calls... binding/calling works exactly the same
for the 3 types of procedures.

I think the infocenter is saying I can't use CALLP if I've declared MAIN in the module of the procedure to be called. Does that mean I need to use the fixed form CALL operation and I can not use a prototype?

Thanks.
