    public class ProgramParameter
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.io.Serializable
    Used with ProgramCall and ServiceProgramCall to pass parameter data, either to a program, from a program, or both. Input data is passed to a program as a byte array with setInputData(). Output data is requested from a program by specifying the amount of data to return with setOutputDataLength(). To get the output data once the program has run, use getOutputData(). These values may also be set on the constructor.
