True, but it still lets a user type decimal points - the good thing is, it does not matter, because the number passed in does not have the decimals - it is still only a *DEC (3 0)
I'd never tried putting decimal points into a number I knew was going to be an integer - interesting!

Hi Dan,
1) For v5r2 try chapter 9 of http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/books/c4157215.pdf
2) PARM KWD(TEST) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(3 0) RANGE(001 999) should do what you want.

I didn't find the PDF for it, so I searched for "choice program" see if that would point me to it. The search takes me to the "Qualifier Definition (QUAL)" page, but this isn't what I'm looking for, and I was hoping that I'd get a link that would take me to the table of contents for the manual but I am unable to navigate to it. Frustrating!--
Since I can't figure out Question 1: Question 2: I want to define a parameter on a command as a 3-digit integer, with a range of 001 - 999. If I define it as TYPE(*DEC), the definition allows non-integer decimals (i.e., 9.123, 147.9, etc.). I tried the integer types *INT2/4 & *UINT2/4, but those don't play nice with the LENgth value of 3. I would like to avoid having to write a command validation program. Ideas?
TIA, Dan
