Re: RTVOBJD in CLLE subproc

Hi Peter - thanks for responding:

"I assume you meant the USEDATE parm of the RTVOBJD command (I don't know what the RTVOBJA cmd is)." Yes USEDATE on the RTVOBJD command (Sorry - I made a typo...). "And you're compiling the CLLE subproc as a module and using the CRTPGM command to bind it with the RPGLE program." Correct "And in the RPGLE pgm you prototyped the call to the CLLE subproc. What does the prototype look like?" It looks like this. ReturnVal is a 27 byte field: * Retrieve date last used D ZFndpdmy PR 27A ExtProc('ZFNDPDMY') D Object 10A D Library 10A D LastUsed 7A C Eval ReturnVal = ZFndpdmy(ZZMBR:ZZLIB:'0000000') "Does it expect a returned value, or are you using one of the parameters to get the returned value?" Yes I want it to return a value, and was expecting the return value to appear in last 7 bytes of the return value. Keep in mind that parameters passed to CL should be by reference, not by value (i.e. either use the CONST keyword or nothing - do not use the VALUE keyword). And if you were trying to pass a 1-byte parm there would be additional considerations, but the date in question should be 7A, right?

Yes the value I want to use should be the last 7 bytes in the return value. Sorry if any of my answers sound screwy - I've been trying all sorts of things.

My last compile error is RNF7542: Parm 3 not valid as parm passed by reference.
