 >> So if I have a value of 123, would the call be:      CALL PGMA
PARM(000000012300000)   ?

>>>No - that would result in 12300000.00000 I think. It should be CALL PGMA
PARM(123) - but the program receives it as a 15,5 i.e. it will receive
123.00000.  If you entered 123.45 you would receive 123.45000 etc. etc.
The
command processor recognises that it is handling a numeric value and
automatically formats it to 15,5

Great! So all I have to do is define the numeric parm as 15,5 in my RPG
program and the command line accepts the numbers I key in in a "normal"
fashion with no problem!?  I like this.

Thanks!
