Re: Incorrect pgm call

Anupam,

The first time PgmA cals PgmB, the library list is searched and PgmB is
found in LIB2; PgmA stores a pointer to PgmB. The second time PgmA calls
PgmB, that pointer is used, no need to search the library list again.

If you want the library list searched on the second call, you need to
store the name of PgmB in a variable and call through the variable. If I
remember correctly, you have to change the contents of the variable
between the calls (otherwise RPG is smart enough to still use the
previously stored pointer) and possibly even execute a call (which will
probably fail) with the changed variable.

Incorrect pgm call

Hello, I have this unique situation. Recently, we switched our LPARS
and restored all the BPCS libraries to new LPAR and activated it for

users.

We have now started discovering that in some cases programs are not
making call to the objects that are on top of library list. Rather
it is making call to the object in other library, but in library list

e.g.
PgmA in lib LIB1 calls PgmB in LIB2
this is how the lib is setup
QTEMP
LIB1
LIB3
LIB2
LIB4
LIB5

If I re-compile PgmB and place object in QTEMP and then call Pgm A,
ideally PgmB from QTEMP should be picked up. But, it is not the
case. PgmA is referring to object PgmB in LIB2

I tried renaming the PgmB in LIB2 to xxPgmBx and call PgmA, but now
PgmA is referring to xxPgmBx in LIB2

I'm not sure if this is something related to any setting in BPCS or
i-Series setting

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
