Well an INT with a length of 8 should be an Int(10) not 20. So that looks
like a pre-processor bug to me.
sure ?
4 Byte Integer is the equivalent of Integer in SQL and INT(10) in RPG!
8 Byte Integer is the equivalent of a BigInt in SQL and INT(20) in RPG!

IMHO when submitting the Integer Value (BigInt or not!) should be passed as
Hex-Value.

Subject: Re: BIGINT parameter in SQLRPGLE

Well an INT with a length of 8 should be an Int(10) not 20. So that looks
like a pre-processor bug to me.

However, since the parm is defined as Const it shouldn't matter.

Similarly with VALUE. But when you say "when I pass the value to a procedure
with this parameter" is that a procedure of your design? Because the value
on the stack for a parm passed by value is very different from that passed
as const.

The real problem though is that debug is showing what appears a packed value
with 5 decimal places. That makes it look as if it came from the command
line/submit job and not created and passed internally. Does that ring any
bells?

I have an external stored procedure with a BIGINT parameter that calls
a CLLE program, which passes the parameter through SBMJOB to a
SQLRPGLE.

In the procedure, the parameter is defined like this: IN
P#IMPORTBATCHID BIGINT

In the CLLE the parameter is defined like this: DCL
VAR(&ROWID_INT) TYPE(*INT) LEN(8)

In the SQLRPGLE the parameter is defined like this:
p#ImportBatchID INT(20) CONST;

The SQLRPGLE works, using the correct row ID throughout the program,
except when I pass the value to a procedure with this parameter
definition: p#BatchID INT(20) VALUE;


The value passed into the stored procedure in parameter
P#IMPORTBATCHID is 223, but the value in P#BATCHID (from PGMDMP and
debug monitor field) is:

INT(20) 9177137167
VALUE IN HEX '000000022300000F'X


Have I made a mistake in the differing definitions of the field? I
would expect the value displayed in debug to be 223 and the hex value
to be '0000000000000DFF'X.

Any advice would be appreciated.
