What I usually do is to do a CHGVAR in the CL and just put the numeric value 
into a numeric variable, then pass the variable as the parm.  The example below 
has a decimal variable called "&NUMBER" which I declared with an initial value 
of 2 in the CL.  The RPGLE program just added 47 to the parm and set on LR.  I 
ran it in debug and the value at LR time was 49 so I'm guessing it did all the 
things you wished to do.  I prefer this solution because all of the numbers are 
in the clear and easy to follow through.  By the way, I also changed the CL to 
declare the initial value of &NUMBER to be  -2  and got an answer of 45.


Rajeev,  I did this  (use fixed font to view this):

 The CL code:
 FMT **  ...+... 1 ...+... 2 ...+... 3 ...+... 4 ...+... 5 ...+... 6 ...+
