This problem has been seen and discussed a lot before. I will try to
explain:

When your CL program submit to batch the RPG program, a string like the
following is sent to the jobq:

CALL PGM(RPGPGM) PARM(12345)

Where 12345 is the value of the numeric parameter that you are passing
to the program. Since when the job starts in batch, it does not know the
structure of 12345, the system assume a packed numeric filed of 15 digit
with 5 decimal position (15P5). Your Rpg program is certainly expecting
a number formatted differently.

There are several work around for this situation. Here are the 2 main
one that I know:
- use 15p5 numeric parameters in all 3 programs
- use a command to call the second RPG. By submitting a command instead
of a direct call, the structure of the different parameters willm be
known when the programs statrs.

hope this help

Dear Guys,
          I have a program mentioned before here.   I use two RPG
programm and one CLP programm to control interactive job or batch job.
one RPG to check display file, Then call CL programm; and CL programm is
receive parameter from the first RPG programm, then pass this parameter
to the second RPG programm, certainly, if the special parameter is '1',
I will submit this job to batch, otherwise for interactive.  Problem is
I run this programm through interactive job is very good, but run in
batch will display error message on the above paster. Why?

thanks a lot.
