Message . . . . : Result-Field entry of PARM operation in *ENTRY PLIST is
not valid; specification is ignored.
Cause . . . . . : The Result-Field entry (positions 50 - 63) of a PARM
operation in an *ENTRY PLIST is the name of a data area, data-structure
subfield, data-area data structure, program-status data structure,
file-information data structure, indicator, table, Compile-Time array, array
element, a special word, or a data structure which has a Compile-Time array
as a subfield.
Recovery . . . : Change the Result-Field entry in positions 50 - 63.
Compile again.


If you look closely at the RPG ILE reference for the PARM opcode, you'll see that there is a LONG list of "not allowed" types, including: globaly initialized data structures (or DS with initialized subfields).... This seems to be the primary issue with your definition.

Remember that for *Entry parms, the storage addresses for these parms already exists outside the program being called, so to try to make the program initialize this storage is not allowed. You should remove your initialization options from your DS definitions and see if that helps.

I might suggest that you write a prototype for this program to replace the *entry parm list. Prototypes offer much better control over the definition of complex parameter types, imo.

Subject: RNF5029 with multiple qualified DS


I'm a little lost as to why this program won't compile. I'm trying to
pass 3 qualified data structures to a program to log the current values.
The compiler is only returning error codes for the second and third
parameters. I CAN encapsulate the procedures in the caller, but I also
want to pass these parameters to other programs responsible for specific
processes.

These are the DS definitions:

This is the parameter list for the program:


c *entry Plist
c parm Transaction
c parm Events
c parm Services
c parm @OrderNum

@OrderNum is a 13P 0 value provided by the caller.

The caller is an XML processor for web based product orders. I've been
able to compile other programs that use the Transaction DS. This is my
first attempt at passing complex data structures between programs. I'm
probably missing something simple.

Any ideas? Are multidimensional arrays a limitation?

Thanks,
Tom Armbruster
