Example 1.Passing three parameters to an AS400 Program
/* Create paramerter list to send to the program being called.
* The first two parameters catch return values, the last will tell the
* external program to shut down if the value is '1'. */
char Quit400App = '1';
ProgParm[] parms = new ProgParm[]
{
new ProgParm(new ProgParmType("CustName", 0, FieldType.NewChar(40)), DataDirection.Output),
new ProgParm(new ProgParmType("TimeOfDay", 0, FieldType.NewPacked(6, 0)), DataDirection.Output),
new ProgParm(new ProgParmType("Quit400App", 0, FieldType.NewChar(1)), DataDirection.Input)
};
As400Program prog = new As400Program(ProdDB, "*Libl/Call400");
prog.AppendParms(parms); //Use our parm list defined above.
//Here, we make sure our variables are passed as the parms in ther parm list.
prog.ObjectToParm(Quit400App, "Quit400App", new int[]{});
//Now we execute the call to the As400Program, "Call400".
prog.Execute();
