RE: Decimal-data error when SBMJOB, but not when called inline

The only way to use numeric parameters in a SBMJOB command is to define them
as 15P5 in the program being called.  You could also build a command string
that uses hexadecimal notation for the numeric parameters like this:
CALL PROGRAM (X'1234567F' X'12345F')

That would work for parameters with lengths of 7 and 5.  Note that if you
have numeric parameters with even field lengths, such as 4, the hexadecimal
length still needs to be five.

Hope that helps.

CL pgm CL1 calls ILE-RPG pgm RPG2 and does a SBMJOB of ILE-RPG pgm RPG3.

There are numeric parameters being passed, from RPG2 back into CL1, which
then is passed to RPG3 when it is submitted.  RPG3 crashes because of
Decimal-data error.

Here's the kicker.  If I change the CL program so that it does NOT submit
pgm RPG3 but, rather,calls it inline, there's no Decimal-data error.
