Re: Something funny happened on the way to the PARMUM

Booth

Trivia questions;
What's the default length and Dec of a Numeric Parm?
What's the default length of a Alpha Parm?

1 = 15,5
2=  32


Why is 32 important?   Well if (like you did with parms 1,2,3,5) have a
parm that is defined less than 32,  OS/400 will pad the rest with blanks.
If it is defined longer than 32(like parm 4) ,  You on your own.    You
have to pass the thing correctly.   Sooooo.
For parm four you should have said 'a
'   That's 59 blank spaces before the quote.

Some days I feel stupid, other days I look stupid.

Here's the code:

  C    *ENTRY PList
  C           Parm         Parm1    6
  C           Parm         Parm2   27
  C           Parm         Parm3    5
  C           Parm         Parm4   60
  C           Parm         Parm5    5

Then we run debug on the program with  Call Prog  ('ABC' 'DEFGHI' '12345'
'a' 'b')
Parms 1,2,3, & 5 are just fine but parm4 will have the "a" in position 1
and "b" at about position 34.  Several of us have looked at this and
checked everything we can think of.

What say ye?   Simple to solve?
