Re: CL Paramter Passing - revisited

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have a non-default *DEC variable (not 15,5), you can use the hex
equivalent in the parm. Say you have a *DEC(5,1) and want to set
parameter to 34.5, you would use x'00345F'. For negative numbers, use a
'D' in the last position, right?
