You do not need CALLP. Obsolete.

Other way is to make it s module.

dcl-pr MyCLFunction ExtProc(''CLMOD');
PR_Parm1 Packed(7:2);
PR_Parm2 Packed(5:0);
end-pr

MyCLFunction(Parm1: Parm2);

Either way you are just calling it like a function.

Also, I prefix all my prototype fields to with PR_ to indicate they are not
reall feilds, just documenation.

Hello all,

I have what probably seems like a simple question but the solution is
escaping me. I have an RPG program written in free-format. I'd like

to

call a CL program from this RPG program and send it a parameter. I'd

like

to do this using free-format instead of switching back to fixed for the
call. Can I use the setup of defining the CL program as a procedure and
using the EXTPGM keyword or is that only limited to calling an RPG
program? In other words can it be like this?

CLProgram PR Extpgm(CLname)
Parm1 7 2
Parm2 5 0


CallP CLProgram(Parm1:Parm2);


Thoughts? Thanks!

Bill
