Oops, I only addressed the numeric problem in my previous message.

You can't pass a 255-VARYING field parameter using command line CALL.
(Well, you can, but you'd have to code 257 hex characters and you don't
want to do that.)

If you really want to call this from the command line, write a CMD.

CMD prompt('whatever this program does')
PARM kwd(file) type(*char) len(255) vary(*YES *INT2) prompt('The file')
PARM kwd(format) type(*int4) prompt('The format')

===> CRTCMD yourlib/filething pgm(*libl/ICR001) prdlib(yourlib)
then
===> filething file('/JavaUtil/ImageConversion/in') format(13)
or
===> filething '/JavaUtil/ImageConversion/in' 13
or if you get fancy with SPCVAL for the second parm
===> filething '/JavaUtil/ImageConversion/in' *something
