Re: Passing Parms To An RPG Program

change the RPG prototype and interface to be a DS defined like your
linkage section.

[COBOL400-L] Passing Parms To An RPG Program



I am attempting to call an RPG program from a COBOL program, passing three
parameters. My RPG incoming parms are set up using the program
prototype/interface method. The RPG program receives the first parameter
but not the second or third. Is there something I need to add to either
program or will I need to revert to the fixed-format *Entry parm method in
my RPG program?
