When subprocedure RtvWeekOfYear in service program is called from CLLE, date
data type parameter DateIn contains garbage. Is the only way to make this
work is to change the parameter to character data type?

Thanks...

DCL        VAR(&ENDDATE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) VALUE('2002-12-07')
DCL        VAR(&weekOfYear) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(6 0)

CALLPRC    PRC(rtvWeekOfYear) PARM(&ENDDATE) +
             RTNVAL(&weekOfYear)
