Thanks for this, Barbara.   I almost always use EXTPGM (with no parameter) for my prototypes.  Pros and cons, obviously, but I with that syntax, wherever a prototype is used I know exactly which external program I'm calling (of course, in RDi you can get it from the hover, but sometimes you're in the green screen).  EXTPROC is a little harder because of case; I always get confused with that one.  I think there's a way to do it, but I never seem to get it right.


Do you use EXTPROC(*DCLCASE)? As long as you get the case correct when you define the prototype name (or the procedure name, if there is no prototype), you don't have to worry about re-spelling the EXTPROC parameter correctly.

dcl-pr Qp0lGetPathFromFileID extproc(*dclcase) ...
vs
dcl-pr Qp0lGetPathFromFileID extproc('Qp0lGetPathFromFileID') ...
