Re: CL calling a C procedure...

Looks like Mark's onto something here-- Brad, check the ILE C Programmer's
Guide (V5R1), pgs 326-327.  There's a good example of passing packed
decimal parms into a C program from a CL.

Hi, Brad:

I don't think you can do that directly... but, IBM ILE C/400 has
built-in support for packed decimal data types, so you can just
declare your parameter as "decimal " and it should be ok... then,
you can always convert to float if needed, using an assignment
statement, if you really need it as a "float".

Regards,

Mark S. Waterbury
