RE: Error on compile

Well,
Because you are building a literal within the program it's the same as if 
you were going to call the program from the command line.  Basically 
passing the parms as a string instead of the traditional way of calling a 
pgm.

RE: Error on compile






I would have thought that as the called program was expecting 
 
> > C     *ENTRY        PLIST 
> > C                   PARM                    ALPHPARM 
> > C                   PARM                    DSTARTDATE
> > C                   PARM                    DENDDATE


Then shouldn't the call  be something like

SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(PGMA) PARM(PARM1 PARM2 PARM3)) 

Of course I know very little about RPGLE SQL and so I may be totally wrong 
but it seems that is what it would expect.

Does that make a difference? Or am I doing it the right way?

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