First, don't ever call an API with a "B" data type. There are no APIs that expect that type of field. Use the 'I' data type instead. "10i 0" in RPG IV to be precise.
Damned if that didn't do the trick!But (1) why, given that it IS "10I 0" in the prototype, didn't RPG have the sense to pass it properly in the CALLP, and (2) why, given that the CALLB, by its nature, didn't HAVE a prototype, did RPG manage to get it right in THAT version?
(Then again, I suppose expecting RPG to make sense falls somewhere between expecting Java to make sense, and expecting C to make sense. Why, oh why, didn't PL/I ever become popular?)
Thanks, Bob. -- JHHL
