In the fixed format definition the parameters are not varchar ( or varying ).
So char() seems more appropriate.

Subject: java prototype fixed to free

Just wanted to check with the group to see if this conversion is correct

this

Dinit PROEXTPROC(*JAVA:'Mail4RPG2':*CONSTRUCTOR)
D ssluser 30a CONST
D sslpass 30a CONST
D key 10a CONST
D logfile LIKE(filename) CONST

becomes

dcl-pr init object(*JAVA:'Mail4RPG2')
extproc(*JAVA:'Mail4RPG2':*CONSTRUCTOR);
ssluser varchar(30) CONST;
sslpass varchar(30) CONST;
key varchar(10) CONST;
logfile varchar(512) CONST;
end-pr;
