Re: Replacing *ENTRY PLIST

Charles,

It doesn't know that *N is the same as 'myprogram'.  The names have to match in order for it to know they are referring to the same thing.

Just ran across some code...

// in a MYINC(MYPGM)
dcl-pr myprogram extpgm('MYPGM');
parm1 char(10) const;
end-pr;



//in MYPGM.SQLRPGLE
/copy MYINC,MYPGM
dcl-pi *n;
parm1 char(10);
end-pi

I was surprised it compiled successfully...no errors/warnings

When I changed the PI to
/copy MYINC,MYPGM
dcl-pi myprogram;
parm1 char(10);
end-pi

Then I got the SEV 20 errors about the missing CONST I expected to see.

Can somebody refresh my brain as to why the compiler didn't throw the
expected errors with the unnamed PI?

Thanks!
Charles
