Re: Passing Parameters to a program in SBMJOB

Hi Hrishikesh
I see your problem with the CL: In a CL if
you pass numerics to another CL or RPG program
they have to be defined as a Length of 15 5.
Thats a rule I had to learn the hard way also
once passed to its final destination, you can
manipulate the data and put it in the format
you like.

Please advise.
