Thanks for pointing that out.  It didn't make sense to me the usage they
were implying but you have shed the light :-)  They are using it for
type casting purposes...


Thanks Morris,

Aaron, for each type in your AS400DataType array myStruct, you need the
correct object type in your Object array inData.  The documentation for
each type (AS400PackedDecimal etc) says what the object type must be for
toBytes.  (For AS400PackedDecimal, it says it has to be a BigDecimal
object; you're using a byte array.)
