Re: Calling a CLLE program from the command line with parms -- MIDRANGE-L

Calls from command line are always by reference.

The best way I can recommend is to make a command to front-end the program - define it with that 1024-long parameter - this pre-allocates the memory it needs.

Eezy-peezy!

I have called many programs for years without fail but today it failed.

I am calling a CLLE program with 1 parm that is CHAR(1024) from the command
line.

Problem:

The CLLE program receives the call using the parms by reference and not
value. As a result, the program gets whatever is in the reference area of
memory. I cannot determine how to make the call by value. It was my
understanding that any call from the command line was automagically a call
by value.
