Re: 7.1 and RPG prototypes

As I read the Thomas' post...

An external program was calling the proc with the PR from the /COPY book...

The *SRVPGM didn't have a PR defined nor use the PR from the /COPY book...

Personally I'd like to see a way to require PR for EXTPGM and EXTPROC to
require a PR be /COPY in...

That's true of a module that is calling a procedure in another module.

But a prototype isn't required within the module that is exporting the
procedure.

Yes, because in that case the procedure is internal -- even if it
is being exported. But, shouldn't the compiler be able to use the PI of
such an internal procedure to validate the call to it from within the
module? At least, that's how I thought it worked.
