Re: DCL array variable in CL

Have you considered having your printer file be a usropn file in your rpg
program? Then write a CL with the override. Now, at *INZSR time in your RPG
program you could call your CL, then open the printer file, and go on
normally from there. 
 
Another choice is to define a datastructure with your array in it. Pass the
datastructure as a parm, not the array.

Subject: DCL array variable in CL
 
Is it possible to define an array variable in a CL program? I have an RPG
program that receives parms(some parms are arrays) and generates a couple
reports. I want to call a CL program that will OVRPRTF the generated
reports to an OUTQ, but I need to pass the array parms into the CL so that
it can execute the RPG program. I've looked in my CL book and CL
programming.pdf's but can't find anything on defining an array. I'm trying
to pass arrays defined as character. I asked a co-worker and they said
something about breaking the array up into fields and passing the all the
new fields. We're at V5R2.
 
TIA,
