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>
