RE: Searching a user space

The code has gone through several variants while I tried to figure out what was 
going on so both of you were right at one time or another.

It's working now.  This is the prototype and call.

      // Search for substring                                                   
                  
     d SchStr          pr              *   ExtProc('strstr')                    
Error number      
     d                                 *   Value                                
String to search  
     d                                 *   Value                                
String to find    

        SchString = b_PDF + x'00';                    
        TmpPtr = SchStr(XMLString@ :%Addr(SchString));

Thanks again for the help.  I knew someone had to have used this function 
before.

I didn't look very thoroughly at his code, but I thought he was passing a
pointer to a user space to strstr()?  If so, it won't use a temp variable
and it won't add a null-terminator.

If he's actually passing an RPG character variable, rather than an
address, then you're right.
