Re: RPGLE Return vs *INLR

I do appreciate all of the work and time you guys are doing.
It only gets deeper.
I am running S36E (Not my choice). The program(s) that I am having issues
with are starting from our web site called via a stored procedure. But
they can be called from an OCL.
I am not sure this is my true issue. But chasing the rabbit down each hole.

Kevin,
about 1 year ago I went through the exercise of getting my interactive code
base running in proper activation groups, with proper overrides.
At the beginning of that exercise, I was in the exact place you are. every
question I asked was answered with: "Unpredictable Results May Occur!"
I build sample programs of various types (real ILE, non-ILE, CL, RPG,
RPGLE, set on LR, use return, using *CALLER, using QILE).
I can't find my results spreadsheet, I'll keep looking.

I will need to read this article closer and figure out what it is telling
me and what I need to do.
So until I can "Fix these Sins" the answer to my questions can not be
answered?

Kerwin,

DFTACTGRP? with *CALLER? without DFTACTGRP(*YES)? :-/

There is your problem -- you are violating the very first rule of Jon
Paris and Susan Gantner's "Seven Deadly Sins of ILE" ... :-o

Hope that helps,

And is program A running in a named activation group, or the
DFTACTGRP?

By the way,
version/release of OS/400 or IBM i is V7R3M0 with TR level: 7
All these programs RPGLE.
Activation groups are all *CALLER

If I have the following:

ProgramA calls ProgramB

ProgramB calls ProgramC

ProgramC calls ProgramD



ProgramA ends with *INLR = *ON

ProgramB ends with *INLR = *ON

ProgramC ends with RETURN

ProgramD ends with RETRUN



If program C and D have some Last Changed values like LastClient.
No
INZ
value on it in program C and D.



First question:

If we call ProgramA and it makes it to ProgramD. Let’s say
LastClient
=
‘AS’. Then goes back to the menu.

Then, from same session/job we call ProgramA again and it makes
it
to
ProgramD. Will LastClient still have ‘AS’ upon entry?



Second question:

If ProgramB has LastClient field. If ProgramB changes LastClient
value.
Will that new value be carried in to ProgramC and ProgramD?
