Re: tiny free format program with parametes and without cycle

Looking at my example, the copyCommon file can list all of the modules
within your service program individually. Then, in the calling rpg, you can
/define only the modules you want to load in memory, then /include the
copyCommon file (multiple can be defined before the /include statement, or
only one). The copyCommon file then checks which modules you've defined and
/includes only the prototypes desired.

Hello guys

Thanks to Robert, Carel, Dexter , Justin, Raul for your input.

To sum it:
1. This is a small exercise so I do not want to use SQL although it seems
the simplest way.
2. I thing I understand that creating a module/procedure and embed it in a
SRVPGM is
the proper way to do it
but
3. I hazily recall from years back having read that upon the first call of
a module/procedure
of a service program the entire SRVPGM is loaded into memory .
(and since we have several big SRVPGMs I don't want to add this routine
to any of them)

Am I wrong about this loading of entire SRVPGM into memory?


TIA
Gad
