Re: Returning data with com.ibm.as400.access.ProgramCall

[James Perkins <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes it is. If you don't instantiate the object it's by default set to null.
It would be luck passing *OMIT to an RPG program if you did not instantiate
it.

You might not however need to create one for each parameter though. Maybe
just one for each type. I would need to look into a bit more to be sure on
that. I don't use program calls like this too often.
