Can you show us the job log where execution of this command, both
interactive and the clp? It may or may not be illuminating..

Thanks Dave. Yeah, it prompts fine. I've run into something like this before
where the CPP doesn't handle the fact that there are multiple values. Here's
what that parameter looks like when prompted:

Runtime Name & Values:
Parm Name . . . . . . . . . .
Parm Value . . . . . . . . . .

Maybe if I quote both?

This has to be a command line thing. I wonder if I need to create
the
whole
command in a variable and then use QCMDEXEC to execute it. Any ideas?

Normally, there isn't an issue between command use from a
command line vs. command use from a CL program. As long as the
command can be prompted without errors in either environment then the
editor will format it correctly in the CL program source for
compilation and subsequent execution. The issue comes when calling a
CL program without using a command interface.

The reason is that the command-line processor (in either
environment) has to make some assumptions about literals used as
parameters in the CALL parameter list. Those assumptions are (1) that
string literals will be blank-padded to a minimum length of 32
characters or a maximum length equal to the actual length of the
string literal, (2) that numeric literals are always formatted as *DEC
15 5, and (3) floating-point literals must be formatted using
floating-point syntax. The processor for a command interface doesn't
have that issue because the command contains all the data type
definition information required to correctly format the interface to the
command processing program.

So, that said, I presume you can prompt the "failing" command
in your CL source and the editor reformats the results as needed and
without errors? If so, then it is the command processing program
associated with the command interface, itself, that is failing to
handle the parameters appropriately in an *IPGM or *BPGM environment.

Sincerely,

Dave Clark
