RE: Decimal-data error when SBMJOB, but not when called inline

Mike,

Splitting hairs, I'm sure, but calls through the command line don't alter
the need to pass a pointer.  It just means that the command line parser must
extract the parm values from the command string, guess how they need to be
formatted, park them into a buffer, and pass those addresses to the called
program.  It's easy to see why there are problems with this process.....

        yep its early in the morning ! (happens to us all !)

You're forgetting that straight calls between pgms pass pointers
whereas a sbmjob doesn't (the original pgm may have ended).

Best to change the fields to character.
