Re: Passing parms to RPG -- RPG400-L

CL does pass packed data but i suspect that the RPG has the parameter defined 
as zoned. Look at the compile listing of the RPG. The default is packed in RPG 
but there are some exception. If the parameter is part of a DS, it will not be 
packed.

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!
