Re: Plain old RPGLE program in /Free

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Scott.  It was the P vs D spec issue that was coming back to 
haunt me.  My foray into RPG IV and ILE over the past couple of years 
has been:

1.   Simple conversion to RPG IV syntax and using new op codes and built-ins
2.   Replacing subroutines with sub procedures
3.   Calling C routines and others from the RPG programs
4.   Moving to /free syntax
5.   Building everything in WDSc and using only RPG IV

Most of this has been "seat of the pants" development with some reading 
("The Modern RPG IV language" and "Free-Format RPG IV" are kept close 
by) and lots of searches.

My next steps will take me into modules and binding and all the other 
stuff I haven't had to do from "scratch" (yet).

So, if I understand you correctly, I will always have a "main" procedure 
that will be coded with D specs that has both a procedure prototype and 
a procedure interface if I plan to call the program from CL (for 
example).  Anything else coded would probably be a sub procedure that 
would use P specs for the procedure interfaces.

I'll file this in a safe place in case I get confused again.
