Hi,
Does someone know how I can insert string data into pointer's field with
ILE RPG language?
I need to insert an string data into Pointer field, so I should change
size's field, but I don't knows how do it.
Questions like this are best asked in the RPG400-L mailing list.
But to get to your question, I'm not really sure what you're asking,
so I might not have the answer you're looking for. Clearly, you
can't put string data into a pointer variable. So I assume you have
a pointer to some string data and you want to insert into that area.
*If* you know the full extent of the particular storage pointed at
by the pointer, you can define a BASED character variable based on
that pointer, and then you can manipulate that BASED variable. You
can use the %REPLACE built-in function to insert text into some
string by specifying 0 as the 4th argument.
That is, if you know your pointer points at an area of, say, 100 bytes:
D bstr s 100a based(ptr)
/free
bstr = %replace('char to insert':bstr:startpos:0);
/end-free
But I'm not sure if that really does what you want. If not, please
provide more detail of what you're trying to do and follow up on
RPG400-L.
Cheers! Hans
