Re: passing param to CL

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pass the parm.

The RPG program will need a *ENTRY line at the beginning of the c-specs, 
with the parm following immediately.  Define the parm in the D-specs.

  C    *ENTRY     PLIST
  C               PARM              pUSERID

for example.  In the RPG program fill the field pUSERID with the value 
you wish to pass.

In the CL where you are now calling your program, add the parm.  (The 
easiest way is to use F4 on that line to add the parm keyword.)
Also, in the CL you will need to define the parm again.  It doesn't have 
to be the same name but it does need to be the same size.

That should do what you want.
