This was addressed in this thread, but I understand how it got lost!  The
quick answer is no, you do NOT have to name the PR the same as the
module/program.  You can name it anything you want, like so:

dmain             pr                  extpgm('AG07') 
d numberIn                      15p 5                
                                                     
d*ENTRY emulation                                    
dmain             pi                                 
d numberIn                      15p 5                
                                                     
c                   if        %parms > 0             
c     numberIn      dsply                            
c                   else                             
c     'Need number!'dsply                            
c                   endif                            

The downside of this is that if you intend to CALLP this main procedure,
you'll have to work out a naming convention that calls every "main"
procedure by a different name.  Poke through this thread in the archives and
I think you'll see some responses on this very topic.
