RE: /copy prototype

[Jen Raihala <jen_raihala@xxxxxxxxx>]

Charles and Michael:
  
  Thank you both! This is the second time in a week that I have "broke"  the 
prototypes. The other one was when I had things in the wrong  order...at least 
now they have a fail-safe in case a module isnt found.
  
  I expect to be sent to remedial RPG class soon... either that or a  hefty 
raise for going above and beyond the call in accidentally testing  any and all 
parts of the code around here  :o)

  PS I was told to never take what the user should know for granted when  error 
checking...perhaps the other programmers should be warned to  never take 
anything I might do or not do to code for granted either.

Take a look at the conditional compiler directives:
/IF DEFINED
/IF NOT DEFINED

/DEFINE

/ENDIF

The way I'd do it is surround the CalcRow prototype in both copy members
like so:

      /IF NOT DEFINED(CALCROW_INCD)
      /DEFINE CALCROW_INCD
     d CalcRow        pr


      /ENDIF

HTH,

Charles Wilt
