RE: Date data type in CL

Jeff,

 You need to take out the VALUE keyword from the prototype, since CL can
only pass parms by reference (pointer.)

Subject: Date data type in CL

Folks:

I thought I knew what I was doing.  I have an RPG procedure in a service 
program that expects an *ISO date data type as the first parm.  The 
prototype is this:

D GetInvPDFDir    PR            80
D                                 D   DatFmt(*ISO) Value

I need to call this from a CL program.  I thought I therefore needed to 
define the parm in the CL as *CHAR length 10.  I did, and confirmed that 
it contains valid data such as '2003-04-15'.  When I debug the RPG 
service program, however, I am receiving garbage from the CL.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
