RE: Parameter prototype question

-----Message d'origine-----
[mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] De la part de Simon Coulter

You passed a 9,0 packed decimal into a procedure expecting a
9,2 packed decimal. Because CONST was specified the compiler
converted (copied to temporary) the 9,0 into a 9,2 and passed
(the address of) the converted value.

Your code received MCH1210 so which receiver was to small?
Perhaps trying to stuff 9 significant digits (9,0) into a
field capable of holding only 7 (9,2) is asking a bit much?

Actually, I wasn't stuffing, I was packing. That's why I declared the parameters as packed.
