RE: Batch Vs Interactive

Another option to consider; write a command.  Use your new command to   
invoke CL2 instead of the CALL command.  For example, your submit command   
could look like this:

SBMJOB CMD(CL2 APP(&APP) DAY(&DAY) LOG(&LOG))

Your new command (CL2) defines the format of the parameters, so you don't   
get the default field sizes as you do with CALL.

Hi All,

 I am facing a peculiar problem. I have a CL pgm that submits another CL
in batch. The CL2 then calls an RPGLE program. In my CL1 pgm, I am   
calling CL2
in batch by sending some parameters as

SBMJOB    CMD(Call CL2  Parm(&App  &Day   &Log))

&App is a character 5 field
&Day is 5, 0 packed whose value is 0
&Log is 9,0 packed whose value should be 1.

 The SBMJOB is calling the CL2 pgm with proper values to all the
parameters. The CL2 then is simply calling RPGLE. In RPGLE, I have   
*INZSR. I
defined the fields as exactly same as CL attrbutes. DayFld as 5,0 packed   
and
LogFld as 9,0 packed. But I am getting a Decimal Data Error in *INZSR.
