Subject: Question about iconv() function

Hi everybody:
I'm writing a program that needs to convert a huge set of data (more
than 64k) using RPGLE.

As you know, the maximun size allowed to declared a character field in
this language is 65535 bytes (aka: 64k), but in this case, the data to
send is more large (about 128k) Since the QDCXLATE can't be perform
conversions above 32k's, I decided to use the iconv() API passing, as
buffer, a pointer instead of a character field.

The problem is that, when I pass a character field (no matter size) the
funcion works wonderfully but, if I use a pointer (or pointer to pointer
as the prototype says) no conversion is performed and the error returned
is EBADF ("Descriptor not valid")

Could anybody help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!

Diego

ps: I've attached the program example.
