For others who might read this, EXPORT is used on a procedure definition to make the procedure visible to other modules that might be bound together into a single program.

An EXPORTed procedure in ModuleB may be called from inside ModuleA if the two modules are bound together. Without the EXPORT, that procedure would only be available to other procedures inside of ModuleB.

Got it, thank you. I was missing the EXPORT.

Prototyping simply tells the compiler how to compile the interface, often by way of copying source from a source member.

If the source references an external name such as a procedure name from a different module, you have to tell the compiler where to find that module. If you are using CRTBNDRPG to do the compile, the only way that I know of to tell the compiler where the module is is through a reference to a binding directory that contains an entry for the module (or for a service program that includes the module).

The binding directory can be named either with a BNDDIR() keyword on an H-spec or through the BNDDIR() parameter of the CRTRPGPGM command.
