Good idea but probably not - I get the same problem on different releases...
I see that the RESULT OF PDU_DS = SPP:E9EB3556D5003A50 is sequential to the
other varaibles so it's probably a pointer within the DS, which should
contain the pointer for the string... which brings me back to my original
question - there's too many pointers for me! So either I got the prototypng
wrong or I'm going wrong in my actual call.
The V4R5 comesup with a different problem about the IBM program (QTOMAPI) not
being able to change a literal constant, so this probably means I'm getting
the pointers mixed up...
the actual RPG code is (including a few comments:)
