The EXPORT keyword for a procedure goes on the P-spec.  Since there is
no P-spec for main procedures, you don't specify it :).  (See below re
P-specs).

I just tried this.  I get:

*RNF5401 30 a      001800  The entry parameters have already been
defined using a
                           procedure-interface definition.

No.  These are for subprocedures.  Not main procedures.

When I remove it, I get:

*RNF3781 30      7 000700  The procedure-interface definition for the
main procedure
                           must have a name.

Again, there is no P-spec.

Just code it up and try it.  The compiler will tell you if you have
problems!!
