RE: Passing Parms to an RPG Program

["Russell Conerly" <rconerly@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've done this before by using the following string from the command line.
Notice the extra digit for the packed field...

Your Custid field is 10 0 packed...try this

call pgma  parm(x'00000000123F')

123 represents the customer id.

Regards,
Russell Conerly

Subject: Passing Parms to an RPG Program


Beginners question:

I'm attempting to call an RPG application from the
command line with a parm, but I continue to get an
error indicating that I have a data decimal error.
I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this right or not but
essentially I'm doing the following:

 CALL PGM(ALIBARY/PROGRAMX) PARM(9)

I need to pass a numeric variable to my RPG program
that looks like this:


*******************************************************fafile
  UF A E K DISK
fbfile   UF A E K DISK
*******************************************************dcustid
    s      10 0

*********************************************************
Mainline

c     *entry       plist
c                  parm        custid

C     custid       chain       afile
c                  if          not %found
c          ***************************
c           ************************
c                  else                   c
      return
c                  endif


Is this right... or am I missing something that I
should have?


Any help would greatly be apprecaited.


Thanks
