<Thomas>
is there an option to enforce prototypes for exported procedures on 7.1+?
</Thomas>

Hi Thomas,

it wouldn't be too hard, to check this (and other things) in a preprocessor (plug-in), but the real gap to have consistence between caller and callee isn't closed by this. The real problem, needing enhancements is, to check the caller prototype against the procedure interface of the callee, as other non as400 compilers are doing.
