Re: VARPG calling local program; parameters not returning correctly

[weiss@xxxxxxxxxx]

I suggest you use the START operation code, that passes parameters by
reference, the CALLP will only support by value, that is the reason you
don't get any values returned.
Now the START works a bit different than CALL or CALLP, it is asynchronous,
so both of your applications are active, in contrast to the CALL
environment where the calling part is disabled until control is returned to
it.

Also to end a Started component we suggest to use the STOP op code.

To get event information from one component to another, VARPG features the
Component  Reference Part, this part will allow you to watch from your
first component into the ADDRESSE component. For example you could monitor
for a pushbutton press event in ADDRESSE and the Component Reference Part
in your first component will send a Notify event (when the psuhbutton is
pressed) which can invoke an Action subroutine to work with the address
infomation.
