Re: CL Optional Parameter Question

...and in ILE CL, the parameter storage isn't reinitialized between calls, is it? So you couldn't rely on the MCH3601 being generated each time, unless *OMIT is passed from the CALL command, right?

I'm with Francis. Use a command front-end. Or, if it's REALLY important that you use the CALL command, put an RPG front-end over your CL program.

Hi Bruce,

Wouldn't you still get a "Parameters passed on CALL do not match those required." error when you tried to call this? Unless you used ILE CL, that is?

Sure. But it does need to be a *PGM.
