Re: How do I define a RPG400 parameter that is 400 long?

Yet another reason not to continue to work with old crap Darryl. Is it really not viable to simple convert to ROG IV? Not free-form - just a straight conversion.

But if you have to stay where you are ... then I guess passing a 256 field which is the first in a DS of at least 400 bytes would be the way to go.

By the way - do you really mean the editor? Or the compiler? The editor wouldn't have a clue about the field length.

I am working on a rpg/400 program adding a call to a program that has one of
its parameter sizes defined as 400 bytes.



When I added the parameter to the call, the editor rejects the variable
because it is greater than 256 characters.



I defined the variable as a data structure.



Is it possible to use a parameter of 400A or do I have to split it into 2
fields. This is not the desired way to do this.
