Re: AS/400 PCML and Record access

["Larry Loen" <lwloen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't worked with PCML yet myself, but I believe the general intent is
to go field by field rather than trying to pass whole records as one
undifferentiated mass of bytes.  That is, someone reads the records and
then builds up a set of fields as defined within that record using PCML.

If you are reading a record via "readLine()" in Java, preparing to invoke
COBOL, then what I think you want to pass a String object as (eventually)
an EBCDIC character array to COBOL as built up and translated via PCML, not
as a record per se.
