Re: Best practice for getting a PCML file describing a given API?

Barbara Morris skrev den 19-03-2008 03:04:
Here's a kludgy way to get the PCML struct for a data structure; it
might save some time. Copy in the include file from QSYSINC, and code the name of the data structure you want as an entry parameter. Then CRTRPGMOD PGMINFO(*PCML) INFOSTMF(whatever).

If it's one of those structures that uses soft-coded offsets for some of the subfields, you'd have to do some cleanup on the struct after the compiler generated it.
Thank you very much!
This looks like a viable path - I'll look into it. Could you please elaborate on what you mean with "soft-coded offsets" - so that the programs know more than is present in the structure described in the header file, or calculated offsets based on that you know that on this position a type A is placed followed with a type B?
