Re: Is it possible to call an RPGIV program that accepts a varying parm from an OPM program?

Steve,

Your question wasn't "what would be easier for my cohorts to read?" Your question was "is it possible..." And, Charles is right. It's possible.

As I indicated in the OP, from my OPM program I need to call an RPGIV program that expects a varying-length value to be passed in the first parameter. I haven't tried your suggestion yet, but rather than creating a binary field for the length in front of my data field in my OPM program, I think that my idea of a wrapper program will be easier to implement and less confusing to the other programmers that work here.
