Re: RPG/400 pgm strange behaviour

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

You *could* have this problem CL-to-CL if the calling CL defined the call
parameters with no specific length:

    DCL &A *CHAR
    DCL &B *DEC

and the called CL defined them with specific lengths:

    DCL &A *CHAR 100
    DCL &B *DEC (11 2)

but why would you do that?<g>
