RE: Basic Entry Parameter Question



 
D EXCHRATE        PR                  ExtPgm('EXCHRATE')
D   Country1                     3A   const
D   Country2                     3A   const
D   Amount                      15P 5 const

Basically defines what parameters are expected by the program EXCHRATE.

Whereas:
D EXCHRATE        PI
D   Country1                     3A   const
D   Country2                     3A   const
D   Amount                      15P 5 const 

Is essentially you *entry plist

The "fields" on the PR are not usable in your program the names are basically "comments" to tell what is being defined.  The field names on the PI are actually fields and can be used in your program, however since they are defined as CONST the contents of those fields can not be changed.


Thanks,

Hi Scott, one basic question

In the example that you provide  few months ago, you have a program that receives 3 parameters, but there is no "*ENTRY PLIST" on the source,
Instead it have the folowing lines :

D EXCHRATE        PR                  ExtPgm('EXCHRATE')
D   Country1                     3A   const
D   Country2                     3A   const
D   Amount                      15P 5 const
D EXCHRATE        PI
D   Country1                     3A   const
D   Country2                     3A   const
D   Amount                      15P 5 const 

This work just like "*ENTRY PLIST" operators ??

I assume that yes, but I need to know why.

Best Regards, Nicolas
