A prototype can be declared in a procedure, in the global section of a
module or inside a copy block that is included in a procedure or in the
global section.

Remember though that the prototypes have scope. A prototype declared inside
a procedure cannot be seen outside the procedure. A prototype declared in a
module cannot be seen outside the module.

I am trying to modify a current module procedure so that it will call an
external program which returns a data structure.

However the compiler is complaining about several issues.

is it even possible to have a prototype defined within a procedure in a
module or am I barking up the wrong tree.
