Re: Module problem - Declaring a prototype within a module procedure

Alan,
thanks you actually got me thinking as it turns out our ACMS was not setup
correctly to handle the module compile and therefore was the source of the
problem.

We fixed that and it now compiles.....

I appreciate the help from everyone.

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.
