Re: Subroutines in CLP

[Alan Shore <AlanShore@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your reply Rob
I had just tried saving to a previous release, with the same results, but
did not know if it was because of a missing ptf
However, I just found out that the v5r3 box will be upgraded sometime in
December. Knowing the users though, that maybe sometime eve as they have
already postponed the upgrade from November.
Ah well, its the users who want this program, so when I tell them that it
wont be available until after the upgrade, they may change their tune
