  • Subject: Passing parms to RPG
  • From: "Moore, Rob" <moorer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 11:12:25 -0400

I have a CL program that calls an RPG program with a number of parms
including *DEC type parms.

All *CHAR parms pass fine, but I have a parm in the CL program defined as
TYPE(*DEC) LEN(3 0)

The corresponding parm in RPG is  PARM  3   0

When I run this I get a decimal data error....I think I read something about
this in the past and don't remember if I need something here.

RPG is expecting PACKED data...I don't know if CL passes that.

                The UIM manuals are a pretty good place to look once you've
got a skeleton 
                to tinker with...  Also, scoot over to Midrangecomputing.com
or 
                news400.com and search their archives for panel groups.  You
may get a 
                complete application out of it!
