Re: AS400 C++ calling COBOL - MCH0802

Sargey,
are you sure that minimum number of parameters and maximum number of parameters returned by QCLRPGMI are somehow "related to reality"?

I just had a look at ILE/RPG programs (attribute RPGLE). They all (OK, all that I looked at) have the following:

Program statistics:
Number of parameters . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 0 255

And this is for a program, that I know, needs exactly 5 parameters.
I recall that before ILE this value reflected actual number of parameters.

Once again, talking about ILE/RPG, as I could not find any COBOL programs on our box...

Hi Chuck,

I am obviously unaware of the details... But IMO a more obvious
resolution to avoid any logic in the CALLER, would be to code the
CALLEE to accept the additional two parameters regardless they are unused.

It is not possible in my case. I have 1 caller and more than 3000 of callee-s Caller let say have "all information", and "callees" accepting only what they want.
And of course all of that is dynamic, so I don't know who I will call next.
To rewrite 3000+ COBOL programs could require a good budget :-)

Thanks,
Sergey
