Re: C rename returns -1 but error text says no error exists

Nope, that's not it. I still get a zero error number and 'There is no error' text.

Don't the strings need to be null terminated? That's why I added the null to the end.

They do need to be null terminated, but you can get RPG to do it for you by coding OPTIONS(*STRING) on the prototype and coding the passed parameter as a character value rather than a pointer.

Without OPTIONS(*STRING)

temp = %trim(name) + x'00';
proc(%addr(temp));

With OPTIONS(*STRING)

proc(%trim(name));

With OPTIONS(*STRING : *TRIM)

proc(name);
