Hi,
The documentation says that TI supports the following keywords:
CONST
DATFMT
DIM
LIKE
LIKEDS
OCCURS
PACKEVEN
TIMFMT

and not some others...like
ALIGN
ALT
ALTSEQ(*NONE)
ASCEND
etc....list goes on

Since I am not very familiar with RGP. I Have the following questions:

1) Are these keywords used when defining data types in RPG or are they
executalble statements used in the program?

2) How common are are these keywords in an RPG program? Is it the case
that RPG programs conforming to the so called DPC environment,
supported by HIS2004 TI, would not use these keywords or is this an
additional limitation imposed on DPC compliant RPG programs? What I am
trying to figure out, is the percentage of RPG programs supported by
TI.
I assume if not supported, the alternative would be to call a CL
program through a stored procedure using the Managed Data Provider.

3) Are there any other limitations on calling RPG programs not
documented -or burried somewhere -in the HIS manuals?

4) Are there any alternatives to HIS providing better support for CL
programs...

Thanks A lot
Kalos

Most of the listed keywords are data description keywords and, in my
option, will not cause problems for programs that can be invoked via the
Distributed Program Call protocols. You may be able to invoke CL programs
using DPC but you'll have to try it to know for certain.
