Re: Passing a Char to a Varchar in RPGLE Procedure Interface

How about creating a command front end to use when invoking from CLLE?

The command definition language supports varying parms.

I was wondering if there is any way that a Char value can be passed to a
sub-procedure such that it ends up as a Varchar inside the procedure.
In other words, the parameter interface is defined as Varchar(1024), but
the value passed is defined as Char(512). I want to be able to invoke the
procedure from both RPGLE and CLLE, and as CLLE does not have a native
VARCHAR definition I was hoping to be able to get the parameter passing
mechanism to do this on-the-fly.

I know how to create a VARCHAR like value in CL, but don't want fellow
developers to have to go through this pain to use my sub-procedure..

TIA...
