Re: FW: Using PCML from Java to Call C/400 Program

Although I'm not an expert in C, shouldn't each element of argv be
specified as a separate parameter in the PCML?

So it would be something like ...

<pcml version="1.0"> <program name="myCProg"
path="/QSYS.LIB/MyLib.LIB/MyC_Porg.PGM"> <data name="argv1"
type="char" length="100" usage="inputoutput"/> <data name="argv2"
type="char" length="100" usage="inputoutput"/> <data name="argv3"
type="char" length="100" usage="inputoutput"/> </program> </pcml>


David is correct that you have to define the parameters separately to PCML. It is just a C convention that program parameters are coded as an array of pointers. When you actually call a C program, you pass separate parameters.
