Re: How do I pass a packed numeric valid into a called RPG program? -- 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.

Besides using data types directly on the call command like this
CALL PGM(RPG_PGM) PARM((31 (*DEC 10 2)))

You can also declare your parameter in your RPGLE code a package decimal
(15.5) this is what the command processor by default converts values to.

Then i look like;

CALL PGM(RPG_PGM) PARM((31)

...
pi *n;
p1 packed (15:5);
end-pi;

I have seen it done but never used it. How would I call a RPG program
passing packed numerics from the command line?

Call RPG_PGM parm(31)
