CPYTOIMPF & trailing blanks

 >> but our application is governed by SMART/400 which insists on COBOL or
CL programs !

Do they actively monitor this?  There are perfectly valid reasons (related
to the COBOL run unit) why an application vendor might insist that COBOL
programs not be used in the middle of an RPG based application.  There is
nothing that I can think of that would cause problems if RPG were used in
the middle of a COBOL app.  Besides, any problems that RPG could cause
would also occur with CL.

I missed the original message so excuse me if this is redundant but .....
if the application uses ILE COBOL then you could always use an ILE COBOL
program that calls an RPG procedure to do the work and bind the two
together.  Since the resulting *PGM object is classified as COBOL they can
hardly claim that it would be a problem.
