Re: CALL CPPLE with parms

Hi Justin,

How do you know you're getting only one character?   This sounds a lot like what you'd get if you tried to view them incorrectly in the debugger.

FWIW, here's a dead simple program that just prints its parameters.  I compiled it quick with CRTBNDCPP and it worked fine.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

  int i;

  for (i=1; i<argc; i++) {
    printf("%s\n", argv[i]);
  }

  return 0;
}

If you are trying to view the parameters in STRDBG, try typing this at the "debug>" command line:

eval *argv[1]:s

The * dereferences the pointer, and the :s views it as a C-style string.

I'm trying to call a CPPLE program with a CL CALL command and pass in
parameter (something I've never done before).  For some reason, I'm only
getting the first character of each parameter.  I even copy-and-pasted a
sample out of the IBM reference manual, and it gives the same result.  Any
idea what I'm missing?
