If this is true, that's fine. I was just testing a called program before
writing the calling program.

It's just that I thought there was a way to do this. I've tried adding
OPTIONS(*VARSIZE) to the two parms and that hasn't helped.

This is a FAQ. Basically, you have to pass in all parameter positions or
you'll get junk in the parameters.

Subject: Problems with parameter passing

It's Monday morning and the brain hasn't warmed up yet. Any help would
be
appreciated.

Here is a prototype I've done:

D CAFWTBLEML pr
D TrRptId 10a const
D TrRptDes 50a const
D TrDlyMth 1a const
D TrFile 1000a const

If I call this from the command line using:
===> call cafwtbleml parm('A' 'B' 'C' '/home/subdirectory/long file
name
goes here.csv')

I get some funny results for 2 of the parameters:
1st parameter: fine
2nd parameter: %len(trimr(TrRptDes) = 34, value of TRRPTDES = 'B (32
blanks) C (16 blanks) '
3rd parameter: fine
4th parameter: %len(trimr(TrFile) = 689, value of TrFile = value passed
plus a lot of garbage

Tks,
