Re: ILE question : parmameters, modules and service programs

["David Foxwell" <david.foxwell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the help.

My problem now with service programs is that I don't see why I would put
exported procedures anywhere else!
If I create an exported procedure it's surely to be able to call it from
more than one program, so why have we been putting everything in modules?
Answers, please.

We DO have an application that recompiles all the necessary objects when a
module is modified. Trouble is, more and more programs are binding the same
procedures and the application seems to want to compile the whole machine
when one of our more popular modules is modified!

As for adding parameters, is this not a an idea ? :

Calling procedure
/COPY QRPGLESRC,DSPEC_P1

 WPARM1 = IPARM1
 WPARM2 = IPARM2

/COPY QRPGLESRC, CALL_P1

*************************************

QRPGLESRC/DSPEC_P1
D WPARM1             S          LIKE(REF_PARM1)
D WPARM2             S          LIKE(REF_PARM2)
*************************************

QRPGLESRC/CALL_P1
CALLP ( WPARM1 : WPARM2 )

*************************************

I haven't tried this, maybe someone will see a flaw right away and save me
some time.
