Hi, I don't know if this can be done or not but I'm going to have a crack at it. I'm trying to create a program that calls other programs based on the program name and parameters that are determined at runtime. My first attempt has not been too successful, I have two RPG programs: CALLER and CALLEE. Here is the source: Program CALLER: d in s * d f00007s02 s 7s 2 d f00007s02p s * c c eval f00007s02 = 100 c eval f00007s02p = %addr(f00007s02) c eval in = f00007s02p C call 'CALLEE' C parm pn 10 C parm in c parm 0 out 11 2 c eval *inlr = *on Program CALLEE C *entry plist C parm part 20 C parm inqty 7 2 C parm outqty 11 2 c eval outqty = inqty * 2 c eval *inlr = *on I would have expected that the INQTY field in CALLEE would have been populated with the value 100 which I assigned to it in the CALLER program. The program runs and bombs in CALLEE with decimal data error. Now, why am I trying to do this? Well I want to call my lookup programs in a generic fashion from a single program but I don't want to have a huge select statement saying when the program is CALLEE use this Plist and so on, I want to pass in the name of the program and what it's parameter types and values are and call the program. (I will also want to retreive the program's updated variables when I get back to CALLER). Does this make sense, do you think it can even be done? TIA for your help. Dean Clowe
