Cobol / Service Programs

[Haroldb]

I have been asked to update a cobol program (Iseries V5R4) to call a procedure from an RPG service program. The problem I have is that the names of the procedures in the Service Program are approximately 17 characters long. (Name of program, underscore, procedure name). I cannot get the cobol call statement to process a procedure over 10 characters long. I keep getting a 'LNC0048' error. (Truncated to 10 characters) Is there any way of getting around this error other than writting another program/procedure with smaller name?

Thanks for any help!!!

What I should do.

SPECIAL-NAMES.                                 
  LINKAGE TYPE IS PROCEDURE FOR "LONGPROCEDURENAME". 

         CALL "LONGPROCEDURENAME"   USING ...

I have already tried your suggestion and cannot get it to work. I have received a reply from someone else that I need to use the NOMONOPRC key word, and this does work.

True ! Using Process NOMONOPRC is a matter of lower/upper cases in the procedure name.
