Re: Calling a sub-procedure from a service program with a CL program

["Mark S. Waterbury" <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, Alan:

There is no way to diretly bind to (dynamically or statically) an OPM 
(Original Program Model) CLP *PGM to an ILE *MODULE or *SRVPGM. It is 
simply not supported by IBM.

There are two worlds in OS/400 or i5/OS, the Original Program Model 
(OPM) and the Integrated Language Environment (ILE) which is also known 
internally as the New Program Model (NPM).

However, there is an API named QZRUCLSP that will allow you to 
dynamically load and call an entry point within a service program from 
any other program. So, if you use this API from within your OPM CLP 
*PGM, you can get there.

But, why not just change your program from CLP to CLLE?

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury
