                I'm new to ILE COBOL and I am having a problem.  I have a 
program that was written in COBOL and now I would like it to call an RPGLE 
program.  I have created and compiled the COBOL program as CBLLE.  It seems to 
go through the CBLLE code ok, until I try to pass the parameters.

                The error messages I get are as follows:
                Message ID . . . . . . :   RNQ0222       Severity . . . . . . . 
:   99
                Message type . . . . . :   Inquiry
                Date sent  . . . . . . :   08/16/02      Time sent  . . . . . . 
:   14:09:29
                Message . . . . :   Pointer or parameter error (C G D F).
                Cause . . . . . :   RPG procedure GSS999R in program 
KLPLIB/AMFNST5LE at statement *INIT had an error due to a pointer not being 
correctly set. The cause of the error is most likely one of the following:
                    -- A basing pointer was not set.
                    -- A procedure pointer was not set.
                    -- The pointer was set, but the object it referenced has 
been destroyed.
                    -- A parameter was not passed to the program containing the 
procedure.
                    -- A parameter was not passed to the procedure by its 
caller within the program.
                    -- A pointer offset was greater than the size of the space 
the pointer was pointing to.

                Message . . . . :   Message 'MCH3601' in program object 
'AMFNST5LE' in library 'KLPLIB' (C D F G).
                Cause . . . . . :   Message 'MCH3601' was detected in COBOL 
statement 2820 of COBOL program 'AMOFLPRG' in program object 'AMFNST5LE' in 
library 'KLPLIB'.

                I don't know what AMOFLPRG is and can't find an object with 
that name.

                When I do a dump for the RPG program, this is what I see in the 
fields that I am trying to pass back and forth.  (prtzip5, prtzip4, and prtdlvp 
should GO to the RPGLE program and @barcd9, @bardc11 should come BACK from the 
RPGLE program.)  I don't know what the QRNL- stuff is either.  I'm thinking 
that the *NULL is the problem, but don't know how to fix it.
                _QRNL_PRMCPY_@BARCD11 POINTER              SPP:*NULL
                _QRNL_PRMCPY_@BARCD9  POINTER              SPP:*NULL
                _QRNL_PRMCPY_PRTDLVP  POINTER              SPP:CC52E38B3A018A99
                _QRNL_PRMCPY_PRTZIP4  POINTER              SPP:CC52E38B3A018A95
                _QRNL_PRMCPY_PRTZIP5  POINTER              SPP:CC52E38B3A018A90
                _QRNL_PSTR_@BARCD11   POINTER              SPP:*NULL
                _QRNL_PSTR_@BARCD9    POINTER              SPP:*NULL
                _QRNL_PSTR_PRTDLVP    POINTER              SPP:CC52E38B3A018A99
                _QRNL_PSTR_PRTZIP4    POINTER              SPP:CC52E38B3A018A95
                _QRNL_PSTR_PRTZIP5    POINTER              SPP:CC52E38B3A018A90
                @BARCD11              CHAR(14)             NOT ADDRESSABLE
                @BARCD9               CHAR(12)             NOT ADDRESSABLE

                This is what shows up as going from my CBLLE program: (which 
looks right to me)
                BARC11   OF PARAMETER-LIST
                         CHAR(14)                       "              "  
"4040404040404040404040404040"X
                BARC9   OF PARAMETER-LIST
                         CHAR(12)                       "            "    
"404040404040404040404040"X
                DELP   OF PARAMETER-LIST
                         CHAR(2)                        "26"              
"F2F6"X
                ZIP4   OF ZIP-CODE OF PARAMETER-LIST
                         CHAR(4)                        "2301"           
"F2F3F0F1"X
                ZIP5   OF ZIP-CODE OF PARAMETER-LIST
                         CHAR(5)                        "48226"         
"F4F8F2F2F6"X\

                And this is my call statement:
                CALL LINKAGE TYPE IS PROCEDURE 'GSS999R'
                         USING BY REFERENCE PARAMETER-LIST.

                I have also tried variations of the call including this:
                CALL LINKAGE TYPE IS PROCEDURE 'GSS999R'
                         USING BY reference zip5, zip4, delp
                         RETURNING parameter-list.

                01  PARAMETER-LIST.
                    05  ZIP-CODE.
                        10  ZIP5           PIC X(05).
                        10  ZIP4           PIC X(04).
                    05  DELP               PIC X(02).
                    05  BARC9              PIC X(12).
                    05  BARC11             PIC X(14).

                Can anyone help???
