Re: API

When I was coding for V3R2,  I used the following MI functions in RPGLE as a
pointer arithmetic work around.

h dftactgrp(*no) bnddir('QC2LE')
 * set space pointer offset
d setsppo         pr              *   extproc('setsppo')
d  Pointer                        *   value
d  Offset                       10i 0 value
 * store space pointer offset
d stsppo          pr            10i 0 extproc('stsppo')
d  Pointer                        *   value
 * add len to buffer pointer
c                   eval      BufrP = setsppo(BufrP:stsppo(BufrP)+len)
