You have to match the parameter type. I think the problem is that ProgramParameter defaults to passing the parameter by value. Try this: parameterList[0] = new ProgramParameter(ProgramParameter.PASS_BY_REFERENC E, 100);

I'm having some trouble reterieving a parameter return value from the service program im calling using ServiceProgramCall class. Below is the java code. It runs without any errors but the value returned is always zero. We even changed the service program to simply set the param to a hardcoded value. If i use AS400ZonedDecimal to convert, i get a ClassCastException!! anyone? thanks.

Yes, thats what it was. I assumed the default was pass by reference. Thanks.
