I've got a strange one but I'm sure there is some little thing I'm overlooking.
I have created a copy book for a group of procedures which include an
externally defined data structure for field definition purposes. These fields
are used to define the prototype parameter definitions. I use the copy book in
two placed right now. The first is the module for the service program
containing the update procedures and the second is the bound program that calls
the procedures. The issue is that the bound program won't compile. It tells
me that the third parameter (i2GfID)doesn't match between the prototype and the
call to the procedure. Looking at the compile listing the data structure
definition of i2GfID is signed and the logical file definition of i2GfID is
packed. That explains the error, but why? I'm using data fields from a
logical built over the physical used by the DS in the copybook. The logical
doesn't change the definition of any of the fields in the physical. It looks
like the two fields should match but they don't. Does anyone have any ideas?
I included the relevant portions of the compile listing for reference.
