Thanks for the input.
For better or worse, I now put ExtProc(*CL) on every exported service program procedure that has a 1 byte return value so I don't run into this issue again.

I'm 99% sure that, if you change the prototype in that way, you'll have to recompile the programs that use it. You're changing the calling convention for the procedure.

If you were just adding optional parameters, you wouldn't have to recompile the programs that call it.
