Re: Call Parameterize iSeries Store Procedure from .NET C#

In case you need to explain this to the COBOL guy, overloading would work
like this.
GIMMIEDATE with a 6 character date would call his GETDATE6C program.
GIMMIEDATE with a 6 digit date would call his GETDATE6D program.
GIMMIEDATE with a 8 character date would call his GETDATE8C program.
GIMMIEDATE with a 8 digit date would call his GETDATE8D program.

CREATE PROCEDURE GIMMIEDATE (IN DATE_IN CHAR (6),
OUT DATE_OUT DATE)
LANGUAGE COBOL
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL
EXTERNAL NAME GETDATE6C

CREATE PROCEDURE GIMMIEDATE (IN DATE_IN DECIMAL(6,0),
OUT DATE_OUT DATE)
LANGUAGE COBOL
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL
EXTERNAL NAME GETDATE6D

CREATE PROCEDURE GIMMIEDATE (IN DATE_IN CHAR (8),
OUT DATE_OUT DATE)
LANGUAGE COBOL
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL
EXTERNAL NAME GETDATE8C

CREATE PROCEDURE GIMMIEDATE (IN DATE_IN DECIMAL(8,0),
OUT DATE_OUT DATE)
LANGUAGE COBOL
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL
EXTERNAL NAME GETDATE8D
