RE: Help with parameter passing

["Bob cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

You simply (simply?) pass the variable using the %ADDR built-in so the
prototype doesn't know what kind of variable it is.
Then you also need to pass additional parameters that describe the variable
to the proc so that you don't screw up the storage and have a learning
experience.

Scott, you said in an earlier append:

"...Anyway, the hard part .... is ... going to be figuring
out how to write RPG code that works with any possible variable type, with
any possible length and any possible number of decimal places.   That'll
be a lot of work.

It's doable though... I've done it.."

This is EXACTLY what's require for Embedded SQL when processing Dynamic
Varying List SELECT statements.

Care to share?
