Booth,
I use a standard where every program has a named constant (defined in the
module, not in a copybook at the very top of the D-specs) called
ThisProgram, e.g.:
D ThisProgram C 'CVTSPLFR'
and the standard for the PR is always as follows:
D main PR Extpgm(ThisProgram)
Rory, how do you call your programs from RPG? Maybe you never do call
your *PGMs from RPG, but I think that Booth does, so that wouldn't be
good advice for Booth, or for anyone similar who is reading this thread
later.
I've seen this standard used elsewhere, with the prototype and PI being
called "main", and it never made sense to me because it forced callers
to define their own prototype.
Using this scheme brings RPG a lack of function that C has ... in C, you
_can't_ associate a program prototype with the main() function.
