Entry Parameters

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

V3R7M0  RPGLE

I wrote an RPGLE program that is supposed to accept four
numeric values as parameters.

D FromCompNum     S         2S 0
D FromBatch       S         6S 0
D ToCompNum       S         2S 0
D ToBatch         S         6S 0

C    *Entry    PList
C              Parm       FromCompNum
C              Parm       FromBatch
C              Parm       ToCompNum
C              Parm       ToBatch

C              If         APComp = FromCompNum And
C                         APBatc = FromBatch
<SNIP>

I call it thustly:

CALL PGM(JIMCONEX/CHGAPOPEN) PARM(51 990110 51 000120)

The If statement bombs with a Decimal Data Error.  Putting it in Debug
Mode, I see that my four parameters contain garbage.  How am I supposed
to call this thing?  Do I have to pass them as character strings?  If
so, I would
create a Data Structure Like:

D                     DS
D                                  FromCompNum    1    2S 0
D                                  FromCompAsStr   1    2

Then put FromCompAsStr in my Parm statement.  Is this what I have to do?

I know this will work, I have done it in the past, and will do it now
while
waiting for a response, but isn't there another way?

Regards,

Jim Langston
