Re: That Darn Text Issue Pops Up Again...

Mike,

The layout of a VARY(*YES *INT2) parameter matches the layout of a VARYING field in RPG: length as a binary integer in the first 2 bytes and the value starting in byte 3. Just make sure you only use the parameter as input (if you would try to assign a different, longer value to it, you might overwrite other storage). If you define the entry parameters as PR/PI and define the parameters as CONST, you should have no problems.

I am taking this approach. How do I convert the length into something usable
in RPG? I see examples in CL, but nothing for RPG.

Anyway, consider VARY(*YES *INT2) on your command definition and perhaps
[32767A VARYING] fields in your program. I don't think I've done this
with a *ENTRY PLIST, but I'd expect it to work with little effort.
