RE: Can a subprocedure be defined within a subprocedure

Thanks for the correction, I really did mean module. Don't know what I was thinking...

Michael,

Technically, nothing outside the *MODULE can use it. Obviously this implies
that nothing outside the *SRVPGM can use it, but as you know, you could use
the EXPORT keyword (which would export procedures outside the *MODULE) but
then not export them from the *SRVPGM.

Minor difference in this context, but important to get it right :)

Rory

p.s. I know you know this, but I'm being picky.

No you cannot, however, if you are creating a service program, you can
leave the EXPORT keyword off the PSPEC begin and nothing outside of the
service program can use it. Only the procedures within the service program
can access it.
