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

We use this one as a standard for programs without a command definition:

Dcl-pi *n;
v char(10);
n1 packed(15:5);
dt date;
End-Pi;

Monitor;
if v = *blanks and
n1 = 0 and
dt = %date();
// Always in AND
EndIf;
on-error;
snd-msg 'Parm 1: help text 1'
%target(*caller:1);
snd-msg 'Parm 2: help text 2'
%target(*caller:1);
snd-msg 'Parm 3: help text 3'
%target(*caller:1);
// How to call
snd-msg 'CALL PGM(' + ProgramName + ') PARM('
+'('' '' (*CHAR 10)) '
+'(1,1 (*DEC 15 5)) '
+'(''2023-01-01'' (*CHAR 10))'
+')' %target(*caller:1);
*inlr = *on;
return;
EndMon;

If I have a parameter with a length of say 100 - in the past we would

need to put something in position 100 to ensure the entire parameter length
was passed.

Does specifying the length on the call negate this requirement ?

Yes.
