Eric,
I try that, does NOT WORK...
Unless I hard code my program name with ExtPgm('MPGM')
D Entry PR ExtPgm('MYPGM')
D 7 Const
D Entry PI
D Customer 4 Const
I usually code like this, but RDP 8.0.3 does not work with Outline view:
Since I use V7R1M0, I no longer code the optional "PR" prototypes, because they are NOT NEEDED! <Joy Joy>
D PI
D Customer 4 Const
Program compiles and runs perfectly. Just the RDP outline view does not work...
<Big Frown>
So, back to *ENTRY, and FREE-FORMAT for the rest...
Whoops, then the new %BIF %PARMNUM no LONGER works...
<big Frown>
I can't win!!! Unless I HARD-CODE the PROGRAM name in every program...
That is STUPID and redundant!!! (To hard-code the program name in the procedure interface.) Yes, I understand it might be need if bind multiple modules together. But, we use Service Programs. <Big Smile>

Try just using "ENTRY" in the name portion... You can name the program internally however you want, and I've used this syntax before to appease the search habits of other coders.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] *ENTRY vs. " PI " in RDP 8.0.3 problems with OUTLINE view
Hi,
Going forward, I am using the procedure interface the "PI" for my *ENTRY parameters.
But, I hate HARD-CODING the program name in the "PI"...
So, I leave it BLANK, and it compiles fine and executes as expected! Cool!
Now to back to RDP 8.0.3, it blows up when I try to create an OUTLINE view. It just crashes and ends RDP. No message, No Error, just ENDS...
<Big Frown>
I even tried to verify first. But that fails, because it wants me to HARD-CODE the Main procedure in the "PI" statement...
I guess I should go back to FIXED Format for *ENTRY parameter list...
<Disappointment>
PS. I understand when you have multiple modules, and you need to know the main interface. But, we mostly use Service programs.
