ILE RPG Programmer's Guide
An ILE program consists of one or more modules; a module is
made up of one or more procedures.
- A procedure is a self-contained unit of
computation that is called using a bound call.
- The RPG Compiler restricts the RPG programmer from calling a linear-main
procedure with a bound call. Instead, the bound call to the linear-main
procedure is made by the compiler-supplied Program
Entry Procedure (PEP) of the program. The prototype for the linear-main
procedure always uses the EXTPGM keyword, so
calls using the prototype perform a program call.
Note:
In the RPG documentation, the term 'procedure'
refers to both main and subprocedures.
