Presenter: Susan Gantner

Topic: The Basics of Prototypes

Although Prototypes were introduced as part of the support for subprocedures, their utility goes way beyond that. Prototypes can protect you against parameter mis-matches and even provide for automatic conversion of parameter types and sizes.

Prototyped calls are also the only way to do program calls in /Free format and therefore an essential tool for all modern RPG programmers.

In this session we will show you how it all works and supply you with a number of working examples.
