RE: Passing Parms to an RPG Program

["Craggs, Dave" <dave.craggs@xxxxxx>]

You have (by default) defined the field custid as a 10-digit packed field.
That's fine, but you will need to enter the parameter in hex to give it the
correct format. For example, the number 1234567890 should be entered as
X'01234567890F' in the parameter.
