Re: Java class return data to calling CL program

I believe the best solution for my situation is the use of the Data Queue method.

For all those that are pushing the use of RPG and prototyping:
Unfortunately I am not an RPG programmer. I am, however, a Java, COBOL, CL, and SQL programmer. The shop I am working in is a COBOL & CL shop. It would take more time for me to learn RPG and then learn prototyping than it would take for me to modify my Java to write to a data queue and write a CL/COBOL program to use the appropriate API to read the data queue.
RPG and prototyping may be more efficient, but I have to weigh that against the long-term maintainability of the project.

Thanks for all of the input from everybody!

Easy enough to do though Dan - just use const/value as appropriate on the prototype and the compiler does the work.

Of course integers and floats work, too, as parameters and return values. Decimal data from RPG is ugly to cope with in java and is best passed as one of the former.
