Case 2: Changes to Sequence of Parameters

In some cases the sequence of inherited parameters on a generated function call may change compared to earlier releases. In many cases, such changes have no negative consequences since all functions concerned are regenerated in the course of upgrading to the new release. However, there are cases where such changes may be significant:

• If you are exploiting the backwards compatibility of existing RPG and Java functions, then this change may require that additional functions be regenerated
• If you have hand-coded programs that integrate with programs generated by CA Plex, then those hand-coded programs may be modified to take account of the revised parameter interface

These cases can be identified by testing the generated application, comparisons of generated source, or comparisons of action diagram code. If you require further assistance in identifying such problems, contact CA Technical Support.
