Re: RPG overloading (was RPGV?)

Which is why more poeple should add themselves to the request for PCML  
to support all data types. The request list starts here: http://www-912.ibm.com/j_dir/JTOpen.nsf/%28$All%29/7589FDA21CB026B3862576170058B28A?OpenDocument

The compiler can do nothing unless it knows what the called routine  
requires as parameters.  That requires a degree of introspection that  
is not currently available. The basic mechanics are in place with the  
ability to store PCML in the PGM/SRVPGM object - however the folks who  
own PCML have not updated it to handle all data types and so we are  
stuck until they do so.
