Re: CALLPRC with RTNVAL

Phil,

There in lies your problem. A CL program cannot "import" a field.

The RTNVAR parameter on CALLPRC refers to a parameter reurned by the called
procedure. i.e. your RPG program should say:

C                                        Return              Parm1.

The procedure interface should be

D GetParm              PI                            121

with the corresponding prototype of

D GetParm             PR
121                             Export
