Re: calling RPG procedure from *SRVPGM from Cobol ILE

and looks like extproc(*dclcase) is only valid in a free form definition

ok, think we are getting there...

let me tell you the whole truth now :)

there is no *srvpgm (just said that to avoid the debate of creating one
or not)

I have a cobol *pgm and a rpgle *pgm that both bind to and call a share
procedure from a *module (where the procedure lives)
These are the ONLY 2 *pgms that will ever share this procedure (famous
last words)...

the rpgle source has the PR defined for the procedure in it... the cobol
source obviously does not...

so are you saying I can just add the extproc(*dclcase) to the PI in the
*module source?

Do you /COPY a source containing the PR?

you can put the extproc(*dclcase) on the PR...the rpg compiler will make
use of it...

If you don't have a PR at all (why not? don't you call the proc from

RPG

also?)

Then you can put extproc(*dclcase) on the dcl-pi.

Jon - much appreciated...

but my nomain rpg source that contains the procedure does not even

contain

the PR definition (just the PI) - are you saying to add it to the

source?

I don't have to specify the PR in the cobol pgm like i would a calling

rpg

pgm...

Yes.

The RPG procedure needs to be defined with ExtProc('mixedCaseName')

or

alternatively name the procedure internally as mixedCaseName and add
ExtProc(*dclcase)

BUT - that will impact all existing callers of the routine because

the

external name will be different. I guess you could get round it

with

a

mixed-case named stub that calls the upper case version.

So i am able to call an external rpg procedure from my cobol ILE

pgm IF

that procedure is named in uppercase and 10 or less char's.

Anyone know who I can lift that limitation? We like to use long

case

mixed procedure names in RPG and don't want to have to be

restricted to

this just for cobol.
