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

I suspect you'd have to make a data structure that's 400 long. To set the value, you'd need to use two fields,etc.

     IBIGFLD  DS
     I                                        1 200 FLD1
     I                                      201 400 FLD2

The "BIGFLD" in this case is 400, so could be passed to something that needs a 400 character parameter.

I agree that coding RPG III in 2020 is utterly moronic.

I am working on a rpg/400 program adding a call to a program that has one of

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.


TIA
