RE: Unresolved reference - What am I missing?

Scott,

It was the %Paddr() BIF. I had the procedure name in quotes as you presumed. Interesting, I got a syntax error on that statement yesterday when I didn't use the quotes. Today it's fine. Must have been something else I changed.

Thanks for the help.

Rick

Case-sensitivity?

Your "definition not found" message seems to be looking for a symbol named 'GenericHandler', but your prototype seems to define a symbol
named 'GENERICHANDLER'. ILE procedure names are case-sensitive. (RPG
converts them to uppercase if you don't use ExtProc, so it doesn't seem case-sensitive within the RPG code.)

You didn't post where you're calling _using_ this procedure... but I'm guessing that you did something like %paddr('GenericHandler'), because that would cause this error.

The easiest/best fix is to remove the quotes, and code
%paddr(GenericHandler) instead. This tells RPG to use the prototype to find the procedure rather than looking directly for the ILE symbol export. Therefore, it'll take care of upper/lower case for you.
