JTOpen - ServiceProgramCall

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to call the following RPG Service program using the
ServiceProgramCall Class.  The input and output parms are data
structures (I can get it to work with regular fields but not with data
structures).

     D CallRPG_myDS    DS                  Qualified
     D  alpha1                       10A
     D  alpha2                        5A
     D  int1                         10P 0
     D  packed1                       3P 0 

     P CallRPG_ds      B                   Export
     D CallRPG_ds      PI
     D  pInput                             Value LikeDS(CallRPG_myDS)
     D  pOutput                            LikeDS(CallRPG_myDS)
      /Free

       pOutput = pInput;
       Return;

      /End-Free
     P CallRPG_ds      E

Here is the Java code that I can't get to work.  It bombs on
"myConverter.toBytes(inData)" with a ClassCastException.  It appears
that I need to get my input parm into a byte array and along the way use
AS400Text and AS400PackedDecimal to ensure field length and precision,
but I am not for sure.  BTW, is there any other documentation other than
this
