Bruce and Nikolai,

Thanks for the replies. I am referring to a call to a C program from elsewhere, like a CL or RPG program. I've not dealt with C for a looong time.

Thanks,
Todd

Assuming that you are refering to a call to an external program (#pragma
linkage) then per the C/C++ Compiler Reference ( http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/books/sc094816.pdf
):


The compiler issues a warning message and ignores the #pragma linkage directive if:

v The program is declared with a return type other than int or void.

v The function contains more than 256 parameters.
