RE: [MI400] Re: Trying to retrieve *ENTRY parms from OPM RPG dumps, part II

Thanks for the reply, Barbara!

The interesting thing is that, in all my testing, I had called the programs
from the command line, with hardcoded (literal?) parameters.  But you're
saying that the offsets for the parameters are determined by the calling
program's parameters?  I'll have to play around with that a bit.

What about the fields that overlaid the parameter fields?  Did you have any
insight for that?  And the difference in the *Entry parameter offsets
between the two programs?

Dan, I'm not sure you can get the order of the parameters from this
dump.  I think the offsets reflect the location of parameters in the
calling program.  You must be passing parameters in order.  I just
ran a little experiment with the following two programs.  I named
the parameters in reverse alphabetical order in the called program,
and in the calling program, I passed parameters that were
a) in order, b) out of order, c) the same.
