Re: Procedure PR/PI question

I would like to have an option that says "All the variables I define in this procedure are local unless I specify otherwise". I know, if I put it in a separate source file I get the same effect, but this isn't always practical or politically acceptable in some shops.

CONST is just fine, nearly perfect for most conditions. I can only imagine a few cases where you could have problems, and all of those are the result of not keeping the prototype member and the Procedure Interface maintained properly.

Passing by value? This really makes no sense, since RPG is optimized to pass by reference. Also, since the OP mentioned this to be a EXTERNAL PROGRAM prototype, you're still out of luck with VALUE since programs ONLY accept parms by reference...
