Re: AS400 C++ calling COBOL - MCH0802

The Opening Post provided a complete CBLLE source for the "CALLEE" [and two sources for the CALLER; one is CBLLE] for which the compiled *PGM object as created with the Create Bound COBOL Program (CRTBNDCBL) command effects min=0\max=3 for the "Number of parameters". A snippet of that complete CBLLE source, for which apparently the "USING" effects the explicitly defined /hard/ number of parameters rather than a more /theoretical/ or /soft/ limit for the maximum, is included here:

------- CALLEE.CBL --------
...
LINKAGE SECTION.
01 P1 PIC X(5).
01 P2 PIC X(5).
01 P3 PIC X(5).
PROCEDURE DIVISION USING P1 P2 P3.

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...
