Re: extProc(*java) & data type for Enum

Wow! I use New=>Procedure a lot, but I never noticed the Java Method Call
option.

It turns out it wants objects for the Enum parameters.

Thank you!

Oh my ancient brain ...

Just realized that there is an easier method built-in to RDi. Open an
RPGLE source and from the source menu select New -> Java Method Call.

Then all you have to do is point the tool at the jar file, drill down to
the method you need and tell it to generate the RPG. Voila!

Even if you don't have RDi with the new easy install it would;ld be
worthwhile for you to download the trail version and you'll have 120 days
to generate all the method calls you need. Note - the code it produces is
(to put it mildly) verbose but for cases like yours where you don't know
what the parms are ...

Not sure if that will help though. You really need to know the data
type
of the underlying value the parm is being compared to.

Jon,

Alternatively, you can ask ChatGPT. You'll be amazed at what comes out of
it.

Times are changing.

Times are indeed changing but ChartGPT doesn't help in this case - the
information returned won't compile and is factually incorrect. As is a lot
of ChatGPT stuff when RPG is concerned.
