SE75091: IN RDI 9.6.0.9, REQPREXP CAUSES INVALID "MISSING PROTOTYPE" FOR LINEAR MAIN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Rational Developer for i, when an ILE RPG program has a
  linear main procedure with a prototype,
  and REQPREXP(*WARN) or REQPREXP(*REQUIRE) is in effect, the ILE
  RPG verifier incorrectly issues message RNF0201 or message
  RNF0203 indicating that the linear main procedure does not have
  a prototype.
  

Local fix

• Add REQPROTO(*NO) to the starting statement for the linear main
  procedure.
  For example,
     DCL-PROC main REQPROTO(*NO);

  The program verifier for ILE RPG source will be changed so that
  a message about a missing prototype is not issued for the linear
  main procedure when a prototype is present for the linear main
  procedure.
