RE: RE: Passing parms to RPG

My system is down right now.  I suspect the problem is from the CL
program...I will check the  compiled source to make sure it is packed 3,0

                Then maybe the variable is not loaded corrctly in the CL.
You could run both the CL and RPG in debug mode and display the value of the
numeric variable in the CL just before calling the RPG and then, in the RPG,
display the value of the parameter in the *entry plist. Also, once in the
RPG try the command ATTR <variable>, this will display the definition of the
variable.

                hope this help

                This is not the case as far as I can tell.

                                Yes, it's the default, but you're not using
the default
                here: you've 
                                specified *DEC (3 0) in the CL and PARM 3 0
in the RPG.  I
                think Dennis R 
                                hit the nail on the head when he mentioned
data structures.
                See if your 
                                RPG program is putting the parm in a DS.  If
it is, then the
                DS will 
                                change the definition from PACK to ZONE -
check the compile
                listing to 
                                verify this.
