Re: Passing decimal data

A data structure, data-structure subfield, or standalone field defined
with the INZ keyword cannot be specified as a parameter on an *ENTRY PLIST.

We haven't seen the code, but I w0nder how the parm is defined in the
RPG program? Sometimes I've found that if I use the "INZ" keyword on
the D-spec where I define the numeric parm, a lot of surprises disappear.

I'm looking for some help with passing decimal data from a CL to a RPG

program. I have a CL program where it brings up a green screen display file
(prompt screen) and asks the user to enter in a couple of fields. One of
the fields is a 2 digit decimal field. Once the data is entered I would
like to pass the data to a series of CLs that are submitted to batch, and in
turn pass the data to a couple of RPG programs. When I run my CL I get a
decimal data area in the RPG program. The parameter field in my RPG program
is defend as 2 digit packed decimal field. The paramter in the CL program
that calls the RPG program is defined is 2 digit decimal field. I know this
should be something simple, but I can't for the life of me figure out what
I'm doing wrong. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
