Re: Data Decimal Error when going from interactive to batch in CL.

Shannon,

As Charles wrote, the main issue here is that SBMJOB "sees" your parm as if
being Type(*DEC) LEN(15 5). So you could either change your variables to
(15 5), use temp variables with that length or, as he suggests, use a front
end command (which I also see as a nice and elegant solution).

Shannon,

What is the definition spec for &PPERD (both, in the CL and in your RPG
program)?

Hello all,



I am attempting to perform a call to an SQLRPGLE program from a CL in

batch

mode in order to speed up processing, or make it at least appear that way

so

the screen doesn't hang for the user. When I perform the simple "CALL
PGM(PROOBJ/UNVGRN) PARM(&PPERD)", the program works without error,

however,

keeps the screen up for the user while it processes which may take up to

2

minutes, leaving the user unable to do anything except wait. When I

change

the same statement to a SBMJOB like the last line in the code below, I
receive a data decimal error, however, I have a hard time finding the
problem by looking at the dump. Please help. The problem line of code

or

so I think is marked with "à".



DCLF FILE(PROOBJ/UNVGRNSCR)

ADDLIBLE LIB(PROOBJ)

MONMSG MSGID(CPF2103)

ADDLIBLE LIB(PROLIB)

MONMSG MSGID(CPF2103)

OVRPRTF FILE(unvgrnp) OUTQ(QUSRSYS/COMPLEO) +

HOLD(*NO) SECURE(*YES)

DISPLAY: SNDRCVF RCDFMT(F01)

àààà IF COND(&PPERD *NE 0) THEN(SBMJOB CMD(CALL +

PGM(PROOBJ/UNVGRN) PARM(&PPERD)))
