The bigest issue I see with this is that the OP indicated that his input

None of the solutions I have seen address this issue.
I don't think the input value was 6 bytes. It was a 5 digit number with
a negative sign, -12345. But that's just 6 bytes when it's typed out. In
the program, it would be either 3 bytes (packed) or 5 bytes (zoned).
Presumably packed, since there would be no reason to do the move to
character if it was already zoned.
Also, I don't see any indication in Armand's original post that the
called program needs to use a character form of the parameter.
So as far as I can tell, the best solution suggested so far is to simply
define the parameter as 5S 0 in the called program.
