I have added a new IBM idea, to allow specifying Parameter Names (and
assigning the parameter values) at program/procedure calls (in the same way
as you can do it with SQL Stored Procedures, UDFs and UDTFs)

The problem was always RPG because the data is converted into the Job
CCSID.
BTW what is your Job CCSID? 65535?
He has DATA(*NOCVT) for the file and CCSID(*EXACT) for the data structure,
so it should not be converting the data to the job CCSID.
With DATA(*NOCVT), it should get the data correctly even if the job CCSID is
65535.
