I know that I didn't use that format - it's fairly recent, as I recall.

I wonder if the prototype made a difference. As I say, I do remember
passing a varying variable to an API, where RPG took care of conversion
to fixed. Wish I had the code to show y'all - and to verify that it
really happened.

CONST on the proto (or value for that matter) would have done that for you Vern.

Prior to the *data options most folks did (%Addr(varlen) + 2) as the address parm for varying being passed as "fixed".

I put "fixed" in quotes because most often the %Len of the varying field was also being passed to the API to indicate the length of the actual field passed in these cases.
