Re: Parameter question (long)

Hi,

I'm trying to reproduce this problem, but I cannot.  when I try to compile
my CL program, it gives me a CPD0784, "Variable &TYPE for parameter KEYVAL
must be *CHAR minimum length 2048"

How are you defining your CMD source so that it allows you to vary the
length of the RTNVAL(*YES) variable?  Are you declaring it as TYPE(*X)?
