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

["Doug Palme" <DPalme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
