RE: Program Call Parameters

["Clapham, Paul" <pclapham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Better design -- for a monolithic program.  My company's "pricing black box"
program is designed in just this way, and had over 60 parameters last time I
looked.  But it really needs to be rewritten as a collection of modules that
would have no more than 6 parameters each.  Have you ever seen a Java method
with 35 parameters?

create a structure, copy the data into the structure, call the RPG program
with a pointer to the structure.  One parameter - better design.

-|Hello,
-|
-|The program call class in JT/400 allows a Java program to call an
-|AS/400 RPG
-|program. However there is a maximum restriction of 35 parameters.
-|One way to
-|overcome this limitation of 35 parms is to call a stored procedure which
-|then calls the RPG Program. Is there any other easy way to directly call
-|those programs that have more than 35 parameters ?.
-|
-|Thanks in advance
