RE: Error on compile -- RPG400-L

Douglas,

It looks like you need to replace each double quote by a pair of single 
quotes:

EVAL      CMD = 'SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(INVMARGIN) ' +
          'PARM("' + PARM1 + '" ' + 
          '''' + %CHAR(DSTARTDATE) + ''' ' + 
          '''' + %CHAR(DENDDATE) + '''))' 

Haven't tried this, but it should work.

I have and that part seems to work now, but apparently the way I have the 
CMD string structured it is not working correctly.  In debug mode it tells 

me that I am not passing the correct number of parms to the called 
program.

The called program has the following plist entry
C     *ENTRY        PLIST 
C                   PARM                    ALPHPARM 
C                   PARM                    DSTARTDATE
C                   PARM                    DENDDATE 

Which needs three parms and I am, or at least I thought I was passing 
three 
parms with the following code snippet:

EVAL      CMD = 'SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(INVMARGIN) ' +
          'PARM("' + PARM1 + '" ' + 
          '"' + %CHAR(DSTARTDATE) + '" ' + 
          '"' + %CHAR(DENDDATE) + '"))' 

Do I need to separate the parms with commas? Interestingly enough, when I 
F11 on the CMD variable in debug mode it outputs the following:

> EVAL CMD  
  CMD =  
            ....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60  
       1   'SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(INVMARGIN) PARM("AA" "06/01/2005" "06/30'  

      61   '/2005"))                                                    '  

     121   '                                                            '  

     181   '                    '  
For some reason it seems to be outputting more single quotes than I need 
or 
thought I was, however any change I make the the eval statement the 
compiler 
in seu balks.  Should I change the double quotes to single?

If you bought, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
