Charles, thanks for your explanation and suggestion.
The problem is that whatever system program that looks at the command
before it gets to the cpp and/or validity check program says that the
parameter is invalid. Maybe it should not look past the terminating

Subject: Re: CL parameter problem
Since you're returning a value, the value is copied back out of the
procedure via the stack.
Thus, the initialized memory space you saw the x'00' inside the RPG
procedure isn't the same memory space that you're seeing in the CL.
Since you're returning a varchar(), it's not really surprising that
only the actual length contains valid data.
Moral of the story, don't look past the current actual length of a
varchar().

I have a CL program calling an RPG procedure. The basics are:--
DCL &DISTLIST *CHAR 5352
DCL &GRPID C *CHAR 20
DCL &TOTYPE *CHAR 4
.. assign values to &GRPID and &TOTYPE ..
CALLPRC EMLTO PARM((&GRPID *BYVAL) (&TOTYPE *BYVAL))
RTNVAL(&DISTLIST)
&DISTLIST is defined as varying in the RPG procedure, so its length
is data length + 2.
Using debug, I can see that the value in the RPG procedure at the
point of return is filled with trailing x'00'. In the RPG procedure,
I put a 'watch'
on the returned variable, and after the RPG procedure has finished
but before I return to the CL program, I get a message that QUIPUTV
has modified &DISTLIST. The variable now contains garbage where to x'00'
used to be.
I pass &DISTLIST as the 'TO' parameter of the MMAIL command EMLMSG.
The command fails because of an invalid parameter, and never gets to
the EMLMSG cpp.
TIA,
Leo Burkett
