It occurs to me that the data passing between the programs should maybe use a user space as opposed to parameters? Name the user space with the specific job information. Calling program creates the user space, loads it, calls program C. Program C grabs the data out of the user space and deletes it. (Or keep it around until the end of the job stream, just make sure to clean it up)

If the amount of data is a concern, then data queue's can be used also.

I use data queue's extensively to pass complex, and varying length,
data between RPG and Java applications.
