Re: Setting on *inlr in a service program's module..

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

yea, but how does a *ENTRY module fit into that. You can do that and I have
seen people doing it.

Back when I ILE first shipped the tech journals were publishing articles
telling people that is how you write service programs. I remember thinking
"what the hell. This is not how you write a service program" and later
articles started appearing with procedures.
