Scott,
You do not want the EXTPROC on the Prototype if your procedure is in the
same module.
You also do not want the EXPORT value on the Procedure Interface.

Been trying to learn procedures, and having some difficulty. After reading
examples online, I've found myself going in circles and even more confused.
I feel like I'm throwing knifes in a dark room...

I'm attempting to create a very simple procedure that converts a given
numeric value into another. In this case, a value in Celsius to be
converted to Fahrenheit.

I can't seem to get my PR and PI sorted out, and/or the positioning of the
P spec decs. Do I create this as a module, or a bound program? Please let
me know what I am doing wrong. I would like to understand how to properly
use a procedure so I can extrapolate this simple example into larger ideas.
(Machine is 7.1 version of the OS)

HDFTACTGRP(*NO)
HMAIN(C2F)
D CVT2F PR 5S 2 EXTPROC('C2F')
D
D $C 5S 2 VALUE

D$F S 5S 2

/FREE
$F = C2F($C);
DSPLY $F;
*INLR = *ON;
/END-FREE

PC2F B EXPORT
DC2F PI 5S 2
D $C 5S 2 VALUE
D$F S 5S 2
/FREE
$F = (($C * 1.8) + 32);
RETURN $F;
/END-FREE
P E

Thanks in advance!
