Yes, I did. From what I had read in the FAQ at the RPG World web site, it didn't look like that wouldn't work with CALLP like it does with CALL. I guess I just need to come up with a test to see if it will.

The only status codes the ILE RPG manual mentions that you can check for with CALLP using the E extender are 00202, 00211, and 00231. That's what led me to believe that you can't check for 00001.

You can't check that status with %ERROR because it's NOT an error for a program to return with LR on--it's a normal and expected state.

You can use %STATUS to check ANY status. Simply code a %STATUS check after the CALLP.

Your reference to the ILE RPG Manual states:
"To handle CALLP exceptions (program status codes 202, 211, or 231), the operation code extender ’E’ can be specified. For more information on error handling, see “Program Exception/Errors” on page 82."

Note that you can't use %ERROR to check those status values either. ALl that %ERROR indicates is a problem of some sort occurred. To know which problem you have to use %STATUS.
