Re: EXTPROC(*CL) and V6R1

Luis,

I googled and got that link also, but can't find the memo in that document.

David,

I think that comes from the V6R1 "Memo to users". Check this:

Hello all,

Just received from management this extract of an IBM memo :

If a single version of the CL program must be able to run on multiple
releases that include V6R1 and a previous release, then the source of
the RPG procedure being called also requires a change. Change the RPG source by adding the EXTPROC(*CL) keyword to the prototype (PR) and procedure interface (PI).
Any RPG programs or modules that call the changed RPG procedure must be recompiled.

Manager asks why it would be necessary to recompile all callers, as in our shop they are all bound by copy. Does the memo assume that the prototype modified is the prototype of a service program subprocedure?
Anyone know where I can find the original memo on the web?

Thanks.
