Re: Latest RPG Updates

Actually it doesn't matter if the procedure is exported or not. In fact the overloaded routines can include programs, Java calls, and subprocs.

OVERLOAD!!!

Presumably, the overload will be a prototype only without a procedure. How will that work with exported procedures?

I assume you'll still be able to call the real procedures directly. That would be less than ideal, but understandable.

I see Barbara has posted this elsewhere but I know of many on this list who have been waiting for procedure overloading. Yay! It is here ands I love it!

Also (although not quite as requested) we now have "XML-FROM" in the form of DATA-GEN which is kind of Open Access meets DATA-INTO (but backwards). You'll have to wait for meaningful examples of this one but I'll be putting out an article on procedure overloading in a couple fo weeks.

Link to the basic details is here: http://ibm.biz/fall_2019_rpg_enhancements <http://ibm.biz/fall_2019_rpg_enhancements>
