RE: Parameters passed to RPG

[Rick Renkema <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Decimal constants are passed as packed format and with a length of (15,5).  The 
receiving program must declare the decimal field as (15,5).

See CL reference, CALL command.

I am sure there are other ways but what I do is usually create a CL that
accepts *CHAR variables and then CHGVAR to a numeric variable and pass the
variables to the call statement.
