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.

Yup...that's what I'm doing, but I'm having a problem when it's a list
parameter. The single parameters look fine. It's like when I do this:

SAVRSTOBJ OBJ(OBJ1 OBJ2)
          LIB(SOMELIB)
          RMTLOCNAME(SOMEREMOTE)

The OBJ parameter (which can have multiple values) seems to have junk in

the

unused positions in the list. The LIB and RMTLOCNAME, being single

values,

don't seem to have the same problem.

Not sure if this is really what you are looking for but usually,

specify

the
parmnam and it's value like this  :
WRKOUTQ OUTQ(MYVALUE) ... OUTQ is the parm name, MYVALUE is the parm
value...

Subject: Calling Command with Parameters

I'm constructing a command in an RPG program. I'm getting junk in the
command processing program's entry paramters for multiple element

command

parms. It reminds me of the 32 byte CL program problem - in fact,

that's

why

I front-ended the CPP with a command. So, my question is - if I have a
command that takes a list for a parameter, how do I construct the

command?

Thanks...
