Greetings,
I am looking for some example 'C' code that will allow me to pass 12 numeric variables from an SQLRPGLE program to a 'C' program that will calculate the geometric mean for them and return the value to the SQLRPGLE program.
I found an example where an RPG program will pass two character fields to a 'C' program which will concatenate and return them, however I know nothing of 'C', its syntax, or setting it up with an 'int' or 'void' to get my example to do what I want.
Currently, this is the 'C' code example I am working with:
#include <stdio.h>                                                                                                                                                                          /* Main program. */                                                                                                                                                                         int main(int argc, char *argv[])                                                              {                                                                                                                                                                                             /* Display parameters sent to the program. */                                                 printf("Incoming parameter 1 = %s\n", argv[1]);                                               printf("Incoming parameter 2 = %s\n", argv[2]);                                                                                                                                             /* Concatenate the two incoming parameters into the third parameter. */                       strcpy(argv[3],argv[1]);                                                                      strcat(argv[3],argv[2]);                                                                                                                                                                    /* End of program.  Returning with concatenation of parameters 1 and 2 into parameter 3. */   return;                                                                                                                                                                                   }                                                                                             
I have found a 'C' program example that calculates the geometric mean I am looking for, but it is set up as follows:
    #include<stdio.h>                                #include<math.h>                                 int main(void)                                   {                                                    // ((X1)(X2)(X3)........(XN))1/N                 double x1=2,x2=4,x3=6,x4=7,x5=6;                 double x,N=5;                                    x=(x1*x2*x3*x4*x5);                              x=pow(x,(1/N));                                  printf("Geometric Mean for Xn: %lf",x);          return 0;                                    }                                            
I believe I would need to set up x1=argv[1], x2=argv[2] and so on, but I do not believe I am setting up the variables correctly to pass back what I am looking for.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks. Regards, Stephen Mooney
