To verify what Alan just said. I had a module up that I just compiled
that a PR with extpgm. I changed it to one that didn't exist and it still
compiled. This value must only be checked at run time. I always assumed,
like you David, that the compiler would have done a verification. It
obviously isn't doing any kind of binding to that external program if this
is the case so it doesn't matter to the Module when it gets created. I
would recommend that it be there before you use the module to call it
though ;)

Re: EXTPGM keyword






The compiler just want some value. It doesn't seem to care what it is.

Hi,

I just opened up a source member that I need to modify and found this.


D Prc PR EXTPGM ( 'XXX210' )

D Parm1 etc

D Parm2 etc



D Prc PI

D Parm1 etc

D Parm2 etc

Just realised I don't fully understand EXTPGM as XXX210 is obviously an
error. The source, module and program are all named XXX110.

Would somebody care to enlighten me?

Thanks.
