I've already tried what you suggested. I was getting the CEE0502
error (Missing operational descriptor).
I tried below and the SNDMSG procedure is getting a lenght of 0 for
the 2nd parameter when calling CEEDOD:
#ifdef sndMsg_Prototype
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgID_T;
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgType_T;
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgFile_T;
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgLib_T;
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgQueue_T;
void
sndMsg(
const sndMsg_msgID_T *msgID,
const char *msgData,
const sndMsg_msgType_T *msgType,
const sndMsg_msgFile_T *msgFile,
const sndMsg_msgLib_T *msgLib,
const sndMsg_msgQueue_T *msgQueue);
#pragma map (sndMsg, "SNDMSG")
#pragma descriptor (void sndMsg(void, *)) #endif
The C program that call sndMsg looks like below:
char *msgData;
sndMsg_msgID_T msgID;
sndMsg_msgType_T msgType;
msgData = "Message Form TESTC";
memset(&msgID, ' ', sizeof(msgID));
memcpy(&msgID, "CPF9898",7);
memset(&msgType, ' ', sizeof(msgType));
memcpy(&msgType, "*ESCAPE", 7);
sndMsg(&msgID, msgData, &msgType,0,0,0);

Not tested but see below:

One required parameter, all others are optional.
To get C to pass descriptors:
#pragma descriptor (void sndMsg(*))
You can only specify a descriptor for defined parameters (i.e., not
optional ones). Even though you cannot specify a descriptor for the
optional parameters you will get a valid count (%parms). Not sure
what will happen if you try to retrieve a descriptor for an optional
parameter.
I tried below and is getting a CZM0879 compile error:
This is most likely caused by the prototype indicating a struct but
the #pragma says you want a string descriptor passed. A struct is not
a string.
#ifdef sndMsg_Prototype
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgID_T;
typedef struct {
char value[32766];
} sndMsg_msgData_T;
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgType_T;
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgFile_T;
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgLib_T;
typedef struct {
char value[10];
} sndMsg_msgQueue_T;
Why do this? The parameters are not structures in RPG so why force
them on the C programmer? C has no concept of fixed-length fields
anyway so the C programmer will have to ensure correct lengths and
padding unless your RPG uses the op-desc to handle NULL-terminated
strings.
You can't pass an op-desc for a structure anyway
Also C passes everything except arrays by value so passing a data
structure in this manner will likely cock things up.
void
sndMsg(
const sndMsg_msgID_T *msgID,
const sndMsg_msgData_T *msgData,
const sndMsg_msgType_T *msgType,
const sndMsg_msgFile_T *msgFile,
const sndMsg_msgLib_T *msgLib,
const sndMsg_msgQueue_T *msgQueue);
Close but:
1) All parameters are required whereas the RPG prototype
has only
one required parameter.
2) Pointers to structs--weird from a C perspective.
#pragma map (sndMsg, "SNDMSG");
This is because RPG mono-cases procedure names. I would change that
on the RPG prototype:
d SndMsg PR opdesc extproc('sndMsg')
which will cause RPG to keep the case-sensitive name so other
languages won't have to map the name.
#pragma descriptor (void sndMsg(void,*))
This says no op-desc for first parm, op-desc for second, and no op-
desc for any others, which is not what you want.
#endif
