RE: Parameter decimal-data error on submitted program

["Marvin Radding" <MRadding@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you submit the job as you have in your example, the numberic values
are converted to 15,5 packed.  All you have to do is define your
parameters as 15,5 packed in the RPGLE program and you won't bomb.

Subject: Parameter decimal-data error on submitted program

I'm hitting a serious brain fade here.  FWIW, we're on v5r2.

I have a CL program that has two numeric values.  The CL program then
submits a job, calling an RPGLE program with those numeric fields as
parameters.  The RPGLE program bombs with a decimal-data error.  The
dump
shows the two values as having hex zeros.

When I change the CL program to call the RPGLE program directly using
the
same parameters, and not submit it, it works fine.  (See example code
below.)

Is SBMJOB doing something to those numeric parameter values?
