Re: Question on Validity Checking -- MIDRANGE-L

Kirk

There are often hidden (constant) parameters that trip you up. This is usually trial and error for me. Create a duplicate of the IBM command and assign your program as CPP. I have used a CL with a very long single parameter, and then I can compare it to the parms I submitted, to see the structure. Or you can use a C/C++ program and get the argument count. Then, in a debugger, cast the ones you don't recognize to the various choices. Or maybe use overlaid elements of a data structure in RPG - you can get the parameter count - loop through, moving each parameter to this general purpose DS and display the values - see which make sense.

"I am working on some validity checking programs for come commands.  I
have
quite a few of them working but am trying to write one for the WRKUSRJOB
command and keep getting errors that the parameters do not match those in
my
program.  Can you point me in the right direction as to where to find the
exact parameter list a command will pass to the validity checking program?
I've been searching through all the on line manuals, etc. and cannot find
anything."
