PCML Specification Errors using JT400

My circumstances allow me to use previously-written PCML specification files in my code. I can verify that these PCML files are in use in my company's production environment.

The PCML files work for all but one RPG program, which throws an exception at the ProgramCallDocument initialization statement.

The specific error thrown is -

• Changing the PCML version in the PCML document
• Rolling back to a previously-used version of the JT400.jar library
• Verifying that the RPG programs output parameter datatypes match those found in the PCML document specification.

• Sun Java System Application Server v. 9
• J2EE 1.4
• OS/400 (i5/OS) V5R4

You said the file worked before.
When did it start to show the errors? i.e after making which changes?

that attribute 'lengt="x"'? It seems to me that it's a format specifier of some
sort like the old COBOL 'pic 999' thing. It makes sense that such a format
wouldn't make sense for just ints.

I might be totally wrong though.

kind regards,

Yes, sir. I tried changing the length attribute (same error) and removing it entirely (and received a "attribute NULL is not allowed for type int" error message)

Well I'm stumped. I wonder if running it with a java 1.4 JVM would help.
