RE: Converting old code *INZSR

["Bill Hopkins" <BHopkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was just looking at a product that created code this way from the 
*INZSR, when option for converting subroutines to procedures was taken. 
Maybe they have a work around for this but I have not found any documents 
about it. All the other subroutines to procedures were fine after convert. 
I was having a hard time expressing myself to the other programmers here 
as to why it did not compile and what had to be done to clean it up. So I 
was asking for a more technical explanation. 

Thanks
Bill Hopkins

That is correct. And I don't think there is a way to replace *inzsr with a
procedure. Unless you code:

begsr *inzsr;
   inzsr();
endsr;

And to me, that's just silly.

Thanks,

Doesn't Klist need to be globally defined, if it is defined in the
procedure, it will only work in there. Am I correct?

Subject: Converting old code *INZSR

I have a package I'm testing out that converts RPG II and III code to RPG
IV. It said that it could convert the subroutines to procedures but I ran
into a problem when it was handling the *INZSR.

It defined the fields used in key list
FFILE      IF   E           K DISK

d SOMETHING1        10 A
d SOMETHING2        10 A

It prototyped it.
d INZSR    pr


c               CALLP  INZSR
c              KEY1    CHAIN FILE
c                              If            %FOUND
c                            'Do some stuff
c                              Endif
c                              Eval     *inlr = *on

And it created procedure with procedure interface.

p INZSR  b
d INZSR  pi

c        KEY1      KLIST
c                         KFLD    SOMETHING1
c                         KFLD    SOMETHING2

c                                Eval      SOMETHING1    =  SOMETHINGA
c                                Eval      SOMETHING2    =  SOMETHINGB

p INZSR  e

But on compile it does not reconize KEY1 gets RNF7030 and of course chain
got RNF7080.   Can someone explain why? I would not have used KLIST in C
spec if I had written from scratch I would have put in D SPEC so it would
have been define at compile time to main part of program. But I'm still
learning so I want to know why this fails in tech terms not my redneck way
of thinking ( "because you defined KEY1 in the subprocedure which means it
is locally defined to it and not the main part of program").

Thanks
Bill Hopkins
