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

another example...

dcl-proc handleOrder;
dcl-pi *n extproc(*dclcase) end-pi;


In both cases, no PR is needed.

Note that if you have a PR, the extproc(*dclcase) must go on the PR, having
it in both places will cause a compiler error.

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;

Hi,

I just create a RFE to keep the definition case of local procedure names.

I assume that everyone is happy about that we no longer need to create
prototypes for local procedures. But if somebody wants to keep the
definition case of local procedure names, he must create a prototype with
the 'extproc' keyword. That is a lot of additional work and it is error
prone in subject of typos at the extproc keyword.

Camel case names are far better to read than upper case names especially
when the procedure names get longer.

Feel free to look at the RFE. If you like it, please vote for it:

Thanks,
