Re: Processing Command Parms

Are you talking about command parameters where there can be 1 to n (or the
max specified on the command) of that value?

If so, you can use an RPG data structure like this:

PARM KWD(TOADDR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(256) MIN(1) +
MAX(10) CASE(*MIXED) PROMPT('To Address' 1)
-----
C *ENTRY PLIST
C PARM ToAddrDS
-------
D ToAddrDS DS
D NbrTo 1 2B 0
D ToAddr 256A DIM(10)

This is an example of an entry parm use to handle email addresses sent in,
from 1 to 10.

NbrTo contains the number sent (but still verify each one for blanks).
ToAddr Contains each of the addresses In the command the field is defined
as 256 characters.

if (NbrTo > 0);
for i = 1 to NbrTo;
if (ToAddr(i) <> ' ');
//do stuff
endif;
endfor;
endif;

The information is there, but a bit scattered in terms of location (and,
unfortunately, not always consistent). If you want to send me the command
definition I'll tell you what the CPP gets.

I cannot for the life of me find a simple explanation of how command

are passed to the CPP. Apparently I’ve never had to handle variable

lists of things like qualified names when I’ve dealt with commands in the
past. Either that or it was so many years ago I have forgotten.

Anyone point me to useful IBM docs? The stuff I’ve found so far in the
Info Center is not that helpful.
