Re: [EXTERNAL] Calling an ILE Procedure from CLLE

Not clear. Are these variables coming into the CL as VarChar's? If yes, I
don't see the problem.

Assuming a two byte header and 1024 length field you would just pass and
declare as a 1026 byte field. Receive as a VarChar(1024) in your RPG.

Hi Greg
You may want to retest and put something MUCH larger into PARM1
I believe there is a limitation as to the size of what is passed into a
parameter (probably wrong - and Im getting mixed up with something else)

Try something that is over 100 characters just to be on the safe side

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Calling an ILE Procedure from CLLE


I have an RPGLE procedure that I need to call from a CLLE program. The
issue is the length (and type) of the parameters in the RPG procedure -
they are all VARCHAR and range in size from 50 to 1024.

For now, I have it "working" by defining the CL variables as the "maximum
size".

For example:
The first parameter of the RPG procedure is VARCHAR(1024), so I defined
the CL variable &PARM1 as TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1024).

CHGVAR VAR(&PARM1) VALUE('about this much data') CALLPRC
PRC('my_rpgProc') PARM((&PARM1) (&PARM2)...)

This seems to work (for now)... but I have this little voice in my head
telling me it could be a problem down the road.

I despise CL for this very reason.

Greg
