Re: Procedure equivalent in Cobol

[MichaelQuigley@xxxxxxxxxx]

Simon,

What's so different about the ILE architecture of COBOL vs RPG?  RPG does 
allow you to code subprocedures like function which is very cool. However, 
you can still perform the same function by using 'CALL PROCEDURE'.  My 
recollection is that the structure of the program objects is the same. 
I've written several programs to take advantage of this when I want to 
hide internal procedures within a service program.
