Here's what I worked up (It's RPG/IV, old). I use it to return variables to a CL program. RTVDOW - command RTVDOWR - RPGLE command processor RTVDOWH - command help (panel group) Compile RTVDOWR & RTVDOWH with 14 compile Create command RTVDOW with these parameters: PGM(RTVDOWR) HLPPNLGRP(RTVDOWH) HLPID(RTVDOW) It's worked for me.
