I think I already know the answer; (I'll probably need to create a wrapper for the RPGIV program that accepts a fixed-length field and calls the program that uses the varying-length field, passing a varying value) but I'll throw the question out just for grins.

Below is the prototype for the RPGIV program that I would like to call from an OPM program.

D MAIN PR EXTPGM('XDC9000')
D pValueIn 240A Const Varying
D pValueOut 240A
D pElemSize 15S 0 Const
D pElemDelim 1A Const
D pDDName 4A Const
D pPr_Err 1A

D MAIN PI
D pValueIn 240A Const Varying
D pValueOut 240A
D pElemSize 15S 0 Const
D pElemDelim 1A Const
D pDDName 4A Const
D pPr_Err 1A

Thanks,
Steve
