RE: Error on compile

Ah, I see the problem Doug.
It's not YOUR RPG that's bombing due to it's the QCMDEXEC that's bombing.
You're only sending it one parm, it's expecting 2 or 3.
Change this:
     C                   CALL      'QCMDEXC'
     C                   PARM                    CMD 

To use the following source.
 
     DCMD              S            200A
     DCMDLEN           S             15P 5

     C                   EVAL      CMDLEN = %LEN(CMD)
     C                   CALL      'QCMDEXC'
     C                   PARM                    CMD
     C                   PARM                    CMDLEN

RE: Error on compile






This is not a CL program, its strictly an rpgle calling another rpgle

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