RE: [WDSCI-L] Two VARPG questions

["Mike Tobey" <Mike.Tobey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Penny, 

I already use this method for calling programs on the iSeries.  I have a 
middleman program I call this way to get the results from my service program 
and return them to my VARPG program.  I would like to get rid of the middleman 
program and call my service procedure directly.  

Mike

The following is an example of calling an individual iSeries program from 
VARPG.  The key being the "linkage" statement.  I have done calls to a module 
in a binding directory using a prototype, but I don't have that example handy:

     D PGMNAME           C                   '*LIBL/PGMNAME'
     D                                       linkage(*SERVER)
      *
     C                   Call  PGMNAME                             90
     C                   Parm                         @Parm1

Regards,
