RE: Converting *ENTRY & PLIST to free format

Hi Booth,

You're close on your code. If the Parm1 field is truly optional, you would need the keyword Options(*nopass) on the parameter. As you have it now, Parm1 is always passed so %parms =1 will always be true.

Additional suggestion for your %parms check:
If %parms >= %parmNum( Parm1 )
Instead of
If %parms = 1;

= instead of = for ease of adding additional optional parameters.

%parmNum requires IBM i v7.1 (or possibly a PTF for earlier version if available). This helps your program withstand potential bugs if someone were to add a parameter before Parm1.

Hope this helps,
Kurt

I just looked for it, with no luck. I have RDp 7.5.0.

Where should I look?

Thanks to all who responded. As usual, it was at the very elementary level that I was confused, and since it is elementary, everyone else assumes it is so obvious as to not need explanation. :)

If anyone one wishes to check and see if I still missed the obvious, http://www.martinvt.com/Code_Samples/PR___PI/pr___pi.html

Booth,

Do you have WDSc/RDP? There is a nice wizard available that allows you
to create the required D-Specs for either an *ENTRY equivalent or
calling subprocedures.
