Re: New RFE to keep the case of local procedure names

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas,

The functionality you want is already there...you can use extproc(*dclcase)
on the PI

just do the following on your proc...

dcl-proc MyProcedure;
  dcl-pi *n ind extproc(*dclcase);
    parm1 char(10) value;
  end-pi;

end-proc;
