You should be able to use either approach - it depends on the prototype.

If the proto has Options(*String) as it should then either the address or the field can be passed. But if you using the address then the field itself must be null terminated.

Just the field name like you first example.

Subject: Question on using the UNLINK function in an RPGLE program

Can I use a field name with the UNLINK function, or do I need to use a pointer to the field?
ie;
unlink (IFS_FILE_NAME);
or
unlink (%Addr(IFS_FILE_NAME);

Thanks,
