Robert - when you do it this way in COBOL you are only passing _one_ parameter which in RPG terms is a DS containing three fields. It doesn't matter whether the RPG were free or fixed, you'd have the same problems.

If the RPG program requires three parms then you must call it with three i.e.

Call "SL415RD" Using SL415RD_SSN, SL415RD_Loan_Number, ...

I have to assume that the parms are actually passed to your COBOL program from elsewhere and then you pass them on to the RPG? Otherwise you should be referencing Working Storage variables on the call - not items in Linkage.
