Re: CL Problems

Hi Mike,

You can specify a command on the SBMJOB command, in fact, that's what the
parameter is for calling a program as well, CMD().

    SBMJOB JOB(test) CMD(CALL PGM(PgmA) PARM(A 1))

would pass A as a 32-byte field, and 1 as a 15.5 packed decimal field. If
you defined a command, say cmdPgmA, with 3 parameters and PgmA as the
command processing program:

[source member for CmdPgmA]
    CMD    PROMPT('Program A')
    PARM   KWD(P1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(50)
    PARM   KWD(P2) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(3 0)

[create command command]
    CRTCMD CMD(*CURLIB/CmdPgmA) PGM(*LIBL/PgmA) SRCFILE(*LIBL/QCMDSRC)

then you could use

    SBMJOB JOB(test) CMD(cmdPgmA p1(A) p2(1))

and it would pass A as a 50-byte field, and 1 as a 3.0 packed decimal field.
