Re: CGI-RPG Parameters with different sizes

Peter,

What do you mean by 'sending three parameters'?  If program A calls program
B, it can either pass three parameters (in which case program B will have to
have three separate parameters defined; not in a data structure) or pass one
parameter, containing the three fields.  If program B has the parameters in
a data structure, I suspect that you are passing the data structure.  In
that case the data structure definitions in both programs have to match, or
you have a problem.
