Re: Retrieving RPG Parm Values off the stack

Hi, Ira:
**
Trying to understand your "requirements" ... could you provide a little more information?

1.

are you trying to do this in the debugger?

2.

is this OPM RPG/400 or ILE RPG IV or some other language?

3.

what language(s) are involved? OPM or ILE or a mixture of both?

4.

are you talking about CALLs (on the stack) to inner procedures, or
external *PGMs, or both?

5. or are you trying to access these parameters at runtime? (ie. not
in the "debugger" but "programatically"...)

Depending on what language is involved, the "scope" rules of the language will dictate what is "addressable" ... the "name space" is typically the local variables of the currently active procedure, plus any "global" variables for that program -- and that's usually it. There is normally no "up-level addressing" provided by languages like C or RPG IV or COBOL ...

If you can explain why you want to do this, or what you hope to achieve, perhaps we can suggest some alternatives?

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Hello all - longtime lurker, but never posted.

I'm trying to retrieve the entries up the stack - which I can do without a problem - but now I want to see the parameters that were passed with that entry. For instance:

Prg 1 Param1 Param2
Prg2 Param2 Param3
Prg3 Param4 Param5

I'm in Prg3 and trying to get the parameter 2 of Prg1. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ira
