Re: Passing Parms

I also have much better luck with data structures. 
I have a couple of programs similar to yours and in those I passed one 
long string containing all 4 values. In the sender I lump all 4 into on 
char variable and in the receiving program I use %SUBST to get each 
individual item, if it then needs to be numeric on that side I just use 
MOVE.

Re: Passing Parms






In situations like this I sometimes change something, anything, to make it
break.  That sometimes shows me info.  Another thing, which I admit is a
foible, is that I prefer to pass a data structure and use only one parm. 
Much easier for maintenance later on.

Actually the four parms are being passed have a field length of 10, 10, 3, 
3

and I am passing the following:

 

'02/01/2005'

'01/31/2006'

'med'

'air'

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