You're right --
I generally write a test cl that receives the 8 digits as characters
does a chgvar on the input to dec type
calls the CL to be tested.

CALL PGM(PGM1) PARM(X’123F’) to call program with a parameter of + 123.

On the basis that it will need running more than once - or testing by someone else, I usually just write a command, whose cpp is the program to be tested/run

cmd name = pgm name or something more snappy

cmd ‘apbjfr’

parm *DEC length 6 - etc

2 lines is enough code - plus 10 lines of comment

You put comments in your code? :)

Yeah, definately go with the command instead of calling the CL directly for command-line use..

Mike
