RE: Latest RPG Updates

That works. I can see a potentially confusing situation if the EXPORT settings don't match, but I'm probably just being overly concerned. Thank you

FORMAT is never exported because it is only really a compiler directive.

For example thing of it this way.

Dcl-Pr Format Override( ProcA, PgmB, JavaC );

This is handled by the compiler much like a conditional compilation directive such as ...

/IF ParmMatches ProcA
CallP ProcA(parm);
/ELSEIF ParmMatches ProcB
CallP PgmB(parm);
/ELSE
....

It is that simple.

Is FORMAT exported? There will be times when I want it exported and other times I don't. My best guess is that it inherits from the actual procedures.
