Re: Passing parms between two programs

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Willie

Are you using RPG IV?

Well, you create ProgB with parameters that match the data types and 
lengths of the screen fields in ProgA and then pass those values as 
parms to ProgB when the user hits Enter - validate things as needed, of 
course.

In a /copy member, put a prototype for ProgB and /copy that member in 
ProgA. For ProgB I suggest using a prototype at the main level instead 
of an *ENTRY PLIST.

Piece of cake! I hope!

If you have too many values for the number of parms you can use, maybe 
put them into a data structure. Then pass that as one parm. You can have 
arrays of values there, too.
