RE: Issues after going from TR4 to TR7

I was taught to just pass the parms as character and then convert the character values to numeric in the RPG program.

JDE has a standard subroutine called C0012 which does that conversion that and passes back the numeric value.

Note that /any/ parameter which is longer than 32 positions must be passed with the exact length of the defined parm. Otherwise it will screw up the remaining parameter values and you'll get unpredictable results.

Dave,

Passing parameters as literal values on a SBMJOB has the same issues and problems as doing a CALL from a command line... it uses the CL CALL command ... :-o

Just search the archives for problems with passing parameters and SBMJOB.

The "best simple" solution is to write a "command" definition wrapper for this call.

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

A CL program submits DGL150R. So it is a batch CL program that is calling an RPG program.
