Ah!  It turned out to be a library list problem with the user profile we 
were using to connect with.  Now it runs, but gets a NPE.  Here's the spot 
tomcat reports as going wrong:

        AS400PackedDecimal priceresult = new AS400PackedDecimal(9, 4);
        price = priceresult.toDouble(parameterList[5].getOutputData());
Here price is a Double.  getOutputData() returns a byte[] so I can't see 
where the NPE is coming from.  Here again is how this parameter is 
constructed before the call:

     // Sixth parameter is price (9,4)
     AS400PackedDecimal pricepd = new AS400PackedDecimal(9, 4);
     parameterList[5] = new ProgramParameter(pricepd.toBytes(0.0));

This sixth parameter returns the result I'm interested in.  Is there 
something I need to do differently for parameters that return results?
