Re: passing Call commands (with parms) from program to program

Actually, IBM didn't provide a CL command for retrieving envvars... which is why I'm surprised you recommended this technique. Though, the API will certainly work. (Especially from RPG where it's much easier to use!)

Personally, I don't see why envvars are needed here. All this to avoid making a command interface? I'm confused.

Steve,

I'm currently traveling, but there is a CL command for setting and
getting environment variables. There's a simple API for use in RPG. I
don't use them often, the last time was a year ago. But they handily
solved a problem at hand. One thing to keep in mind is environment
vars are case sensitive.
