RE: Scanning a variable in CLP -- MIDRANGE-L

Wild guess - the numerics need to be *DEC(3 0) - when you use the literals (640, 4, and 1), they come through as *DEC(15 5). The old command line gotcha when calling with packed parameters.

Would anyone have an example to share... I can't get this to work...

Here is what I've tried:

 DCL        VAR(&AUDLVL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(640)
 DCL        VAR(&SCANRESULT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)

 CALL       PGM(QCLSCAN) PARM(&AUDLVL 640 1 '*CMD' 4 '0' +
              '1' ' ' &SCANRESULT)

Use QCLSCAN -
