Re: Parm defined at DS/Array confusion -- RPG400-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Technically it will work - kinda. It depends on the logic in PGM0 and how it treats the data. Remember no length or data type information is passed - simply a pointer to the parm data.

It is fundamentally an accident waiting to happen and really needs fixing ...

The third caller (the one that passes a Dim(8)) is the weirdest as only the first four elements can be processed and even then it must be pretty weird data.

You're going to have to work through the logic of PGM0 to see what the heck it is doing with those different parms.

Looking at the code, IAMT is defined in 1 place with DIM(2) and another
DIM(4). That changes the length of the parms.
