I think you are asking is there a way to return a variable sized field? You know the program will return data in the second parameter, you just don't know how much data. Sorry, the answer is no. You have to fill in the amount of data to return. Many programs use a reasonable maximum, then have a way to tell the java program how much data is actually in the buffer and if there is more. For example, suppose 95% of the time the program returns fewer than 32K of data. You set the program parameter return size to 32K. That much space is returned to the program so the caller and callee must agree on some way to indicate how much useful data is in the buffer. The caller and callee must also agree on a way to indicate more data is present. For example, maybe the first four bytes of the 32K is the amount of data in the buffer. The next four bytes is how much data is generated by the app. The rest of the buffer is the data. If the first two number are equal, all data was returned. If not, the caller must make another call to get the rest of the data.

How can I define an Array in java class as one of the output parameters to RPG program and receive it back if neither RPG nor java knows number of elements and it is not first or last element in ProgramParameter[]? ProgramParameter[] parms = new ProgramParameter[2]; parms[0] = new ProgramParameter(3); parms[1] = new ProgramParameter (?????????????????); parms[2] = new ProgramParameter(20); call.setParameterList(parms); Thank you.
