RE: C functions

Well, the CALLB mentioned in "Programming with..." under the calling a C
Function section is in reference to having the C Function in a local C
runtime, not from the System i.

Side note. I'm installing Code & VARPG to a laptop, and I couldn't
install it under "Program Files" because it doesn't allow spaces in the
path. Ouch.

Thanks for the responses.

All but 2 of the links from that Tips site are dead links.

I don't know if I was doing some bad searchers, but the only answer I
found on the newsgroup was to install the C runtime on the computers
running the program.

But, aha, the "Programming with..." is something I didn't think of. I
tried prototyping Qsort as a procedure, I tried prototyping Qsort as a
program, and eventually decided to do it all myself and discovered I
can't Sorta on a datastructure array... But it seems you've given me a
lead. It recommends using CallB, so I'll be giving that a try sometime
soon.

Thanks!

Has anyone managed to get C functions such as qsort & bsearch to work
in VARPG? I use these with dynamically built arrays.

Yes - I've seen these and several others used.

Try the IBM VARPG newsgroup for samples.

There is a very brief bit in the "Programming with ..." manual but it is
not a lot of help. I thought there used to be stuff in Larry's pages on
the
main IBM web site but I can't see any sign of it now.
