Re: Calling a CL program from a free-format RPG program

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, that's it...did you try it?

Note in FREE, you don't need to use CALLP
  CLProgram(Parm1:Parm2);

Also note that Parm1 & Parm2 are not defined by the prototype.  In fact,
you don't even need the name
CLProgram           PR              Extpgm(CLname)
                 7  2
                 5  0

The parameter names in the PR are just for the developer's reference.

So if you're actually trying to pass a variable named PARM1, then it needs
to be defined somewhere else.
