Re: CALLPRC/tmpname/Null Filename

This API returns a pointer, not a character field...

Would recommend doing this in RPG where it's simpler, but if you need to do it in CL, I could whip up an example...

So my code looks like this:

PGM PARM(&FILENAME)

DCLPRCOPT DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP(*CALLER) BNDDIR(QC2LE)
DCL VAR(&FILENAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(40)

CALLPRC PRC('_C_IFS_tmpnam') PARM((*OMIT *BYVAL)) +
RTNVAL(&FILENAME)

ENDPGM

Seems pretty straightforward, but it's returning NULL (all hex zeroes
anyway).

Anyone see a problem?

Thanks!
