Eric,

You're the second person to mention ALWNULL.  I was under the impression
that this keyword affects only RPG native processing.  Since the original
poster was using embedded SQL, he needed to include a manually defined NULL
indicator array.

If ALWNULL(*USRCTL) was specified does RPG automatically track and pass the
NULL indicators?


Thanks,
Charles
