Sample code from PBooks Pasted below
Rem Set the return code so we are sure it is sent back.
&Returncode = -1;
Rem Set the parameters that will be sent across.
&param1 = "John";
&param2 = "Smith";
Rem Set the standard parameters that indicate program name and run-control.
&RemoteCobolPgm = "CBLPROG1";
/* call the remote function */
RemoteCall ("PSRCCBL",
"PSCOBOLPROG", &RemoteCobolPgm,
"PSRUNCTL", workrec.runctl,
"FirstName", &param1,
"LastName", &param2,
"Returncode", &Returncode,
"MessageSet", &msgset,
"MessageID", &msgid,
"MessageText1", &msgtext1,
"MessageText2", &msgtext2);
if &Returncode <> 0
WinMessage(MsgGet(&msgset, &msgid, "default message", &msgtext1, &msgtext2));
end-if;
