Since RPG does not allow for procedure overloading I'm wondering what
other solutions people have come up with.

For example, I have....

*
* iText Document Methods
*
D new_iText_Document...
D PR like(iText_Document)
D ExtProc(*JAVA
D :'com.lowagie.text.Document'
D :*CONSTRUCTOR)
D new_iText_Document_Pagesize...
D PR like(iText_Document)
D ExtProc(*JAVA
D :'com.lowagie.text.Document'
D :*CONSTRUCTOR)
D pagesize like(iText_Rectangle)
where the constructor for an new_iText_Document is overloaded. My
solution was to add the Pagesize parameter to the name.

Does anyone else have any other naming suggestions?

Thanks,

Robert Rogerson
