Re: CLLE and date type parameter in RPGLE subprocedure

["Reggie Acosta" <racosta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Simon, good catch. The program works fine now. This is what it looks
like now.

.....DName+++++++++++ETDsFrom+++To/L+++IDc.Keywords+++
     D RtvWeekOfYearA  PR             6p 0
     D  charDateIn                   10A   const

.....PName+++++++++++..T...................Keywords+++
     P RtvWeekOfYearA  B                   Export
     D RtvWeekOfYearA  PI             6p 0
     D  charDateIn                   10A   const
      ...
.....CL0N01Factor1+++++++Opcode&ExtFactor2+++++++Result++++++++
     c     *ISO          TEST(DE)                charDateIn
      ...

Thanks again,
Reggie
