Since it takes an integer parameter, you'll have to convert your characters to integer, too. If you have V5R1 (notice the change to the EXTPROC keyword for the isalpha prototype): D ds D str 10 inz('ABC') D strInts 3i 0 overlay(str) D dim(%size(str)) D isalpha pr ExtProc(*CWIDEN: D 'isalpha') D 10I 0 Value C eval hasAlpha = '0' C for i = 1 to %len(str) C if isalpha (strInts(i)) <> '1' C eval hasAlpha = '1' C endif C endfor If you don't have V5R1 (sorry about the spacing), you have to handle the integer widening yourself. (See http://www.opensource400.org/callc.html for a bit about C widening and how it affects RPG.)
