RE: JTOpen - ServiceProgramCall

Thanks to both David and Barbara for your comments, I have made those
changes but that doesn't address my main problem which is how to compose
the input argument when the service pgm is expecting a data structure
with many different data types in it.  Any ideas on that?

Here is the data structure:
     D CallRPG_myDS    DS                  Qualified
     D  alpha1                       10A
     D  alpha2                        5A
     D  int1                         10P 0
     D  packed1                       3P 0   

How do I put data into the appropriate Java objects to make it work?
Seems like they shortchanged the documentation.

Aaron, I think ServiceProgramCall only supports 4-byte-integer and
pointer parameters when passed by value.  Any types other than
4-byte-integer have to be passed by reference (passing a pointer by
value).  Your first parameter would have to be passed by reference (use
CONST in the RPG).  If you can't change the parameter because you
already have RPG callers of this procedure, make a wrapper procedure
CALLRPG_ds2 with parameters by reference that calls through to
CallRPG_ds passing them by value.  Then Java can call CallRPG_ds2 and
your other callers can continue to call CallRPG_ds.
