Re: Parameter passing CL to RPGLE

One final note - I didn't use Charles Wilt's simple method

<quote>
But why wouldn't you just use
d OB0050AN pi
d @RETURNCODE 2a
d @CALLER 10a
d PARMS likeds(@PARMS)
</quote>

because on v5r4 I can't define the template data structure with the TEMPLATE keyword, which means it had to be QUALIFIED, and the SQL pre-compiler can't handle qualified names as host variables, e.g. for the following SQL

UPDATE myTable SET myColumn = :@PARMS.@MODE WHERE ...

the pre-compiler gives two errors, variable @PARMS undefined or unusable and variable @MODE undefined or unusable.

I'm not sure if having the TEMPLATE keyword available would have allowed me to use unqualified subfield names or not.
