Do I still leave the 9  0 in the parm line ?



<div>
I still seem to have the same error. &nbsp;So I went back and changed the physical file to packed decimal and excluded the D spec....but I am still getting the same error.<br />

I think I found the problem Dave, I was not deliminiting the parm with the following:<br />
<br />
PARM('xxxxxxxxxx')<br />
I forgot to include the '' <br />
<br />
Now it works.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am attempting to pass a PARM to a program of mine and it is generating an error: MCH1202. &nbsp;I did the DSPMSGD for the error and it is telling me that I have a decimal error but I am not sure how to fix it.<br />
<br />
Here is the relevant code:<br />
<br />
In the program I have the following lines to invoke the PARMS:<br />
<br />
C &nbsp; &nbsp; *entry &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;plist &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
C &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; parm &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;SSN &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 9 0 <br />
<br />
the physical file that I am using this over has the following field defined as SSN:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;SSN &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;9S 0 <br />
<br />
I am sure that it is something that I am just overlooking or forgot to consider, so any comment or suggestion would be appreciated.<br />
