RE: Can a subprocedure be defined within a subprocedure

Thanks for all of the replies.

I personally had no interest or reason to do this, but was trying to look
into this for a situation where there was a question about variable scope.
That is, would it be possible to further restrict the scope of variables
within a subprocedure itself.

The replies about the P/E specs makes sense to me, so I will consider it
"closed" that having a subproc inside another is not possible.

Thanks,
Craig Pelkie

The ILE RPG Language Reference 7.1 SC09-2508-08, Chapter 18 Procedure
Specifications,
lists five "parts" of a subprocedure, and then this statement:

"Except for a procedure-interface definition, which may be placed
anywhere within
the definition specifications, a subprocedure must be coded in the

order

shown
above."

This supports Jonathan's point that the beginning and ending P specs would

be

out-of-sequence.
