Re: Calling Command with Parameters -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Peter -

Here's one of the parms:

PARM       KWD(RECIPNAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(256) +
            DFT(*NONE) SPCVAL((*NONE '')) MAX(10) +
            EXPR(*YES) PROMPT('Name of e-mail +
            recipient' 3)

I'm attempting to process the number of entries, but the number of entries
value is -9774 (it changes). So that looks to me like I'm not handling
memory correctly. It must come from the way the command is being built. I've
tried different ways of constructing the command (extra spaces and such).

Hi Michael,

What does your command definition look like?  When you define a list,
the 1st two bytes of the list returned to the program will be a binary
number indicating how many elements of the list were filled in by the
user and passed to the cpp.  You should only be processing that number
of list elements; any storage beyond those is undefined.
