(I rearranged your message to put the info about how PGMA calls PGMB
next to your explanation of what they are)

I'm confused. I thought "PGMA" was called MSG7AE. (That's
what your SBMJOB says) but now you're referring to the
RPG procedure as "MSG7AE"???
You've got CHGVAR trying to set a 8-char field equal to a
15.5 field. I don't think that'll do what you think it will :)
You probably want something like this:
DCL VAR(&TEMP) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(8 0)
CHGVAR VAR(&TEMP) VALUE(&CPER)
CHGVAR VAR(&CALDT) VALUE(&TEMP)
That way you get rid of all of the trailing decimal places, and the
leading decimals, and just get the 8-digits that you want.

First of all, WHICH field is blank? ScDate?
Second, you have CADTVA defined in your RPG as an 8-digit packed (i.e.
a 5-byte variable) but in your CL you have it defined as *CHAR 8 (which
is an 8-byte variable) I would expect that to cause a decimal data
error for you, sooner or later...

You mean off your rocker?! I've never heard of "off my knockers".
But... "knockers" may not be an appropriate topic for this forum :)
Anyway, since your example didn't make sense to me, I've written
a quick adaptation of what I thought you were trying to do, and it
works for me... here it is:
PGM PARM(&CPER &VPER)
DCL VAR(&CPER) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(15 5)
DCL VAR(&VPER) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(15 5)
DCL VAR(&TEMP) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(8 0)
DCL VAR(&CALDT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8)
DCL VAR(&VALDT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8)
CHGVAR VAR(&TEMP) VALUE(&CPER)
CHGVAR VAR(&CALDT) VALUE(&TEMP)
CHGVAR VAR(&TEMP) VALUE(&VPER)
CHGVAR VAR(&VALDT) VALUE(&TEMP)
CALLPRC PRC(MSG7AE2) PARM(&CALDT &VALDT)
ENDPGM
D testdate S 8A
c *entry plist
c parm calper 8
c parm cadtva 8
c eval testdate = calper
c dsply testdate
c eval testdate = cadtva
c dsply testdate
c return
