Just a thought - the parameter you pass has to match the incoming parameter - both need to be the same data-structure layout. You can't have the parameter in the called program or procedure be just a character field.

The values are totally strange.

They only appear garbage to you Darryl - to the system they should be just

Unfortunately the data structure method would not work. It seems to
convert
the values into "garbage". I do not know why.

However, experimentation provided me with another solution based on
comments here. This worked for my test program. It has also worked in the
program I needed it to work in.

zCommand = 'SBMJOB CMD(CALL D1C716 PARM('

+ Q + %trim(emotid) + Q + ' '

+ Q + %trim(wForProcess) + Q + ' '

+ 'X' + Q + %editc(mhseq:'X') + 'F' + Q + ' '

+ 'X' + Q + %editc(wManifest2:'X') + 'F' + Q + ' '

+ 'X' + Q + %editc(wManifest3:'X') + 'F' + Q + ' '

+ Q + %trim(wStripPrintWap) + Q + ' '

+ Q + %trim(wOutManifest3) + Q + ' '



+ ')) JOB(N' + %char(mhseq) + ') '

+ ' JOBQ(INR500)' ;



// submit the command



CALLP SBMCMD (zCommand : %Len(zCommand) );

The thing to remember is that when you call a program from the command

Yes! They are parameters from the caller to the SBMJOB, and they are
literals from the SBMJOB command line to D1C716.

In your situation, program D1C716 could define the numeric *ENTRY
parameters as packed decimal 15.5, then eval/z-add those to mhseq,
wManifest2 and wManifest3.
The time tested alternative is to create a very simple *CMD, and set the
command processing program to be D1C716. Invoking the program from the
command line would be dead simple, the job log would have sane looking
entries, and programs that already call D1C716 with packed(7: 2)
variables would continue to work as-is.
