Re: call ILE pgm from PASE

Those headers are ASCII text for me. I'd suspect the CCSID of your
source file before that; try using iconv to convert it. (PASE programs
don't care about the CCSID attribute; they just want ASCII/UTF-8 text.)
Alternatively, just save it using means you know will result in non-
EBCDIC text; EDTF is a gigantic footgun.

I'm trying to develop a small POC to call an RPG ILE pgm from PASE.

I'll use a C program to run in PASE that will invoke a native IBM RPG
ILE
pgm and return a parm value.

Has anyone done something like this before?

Where I'm getting hung up is trying to utilize the two required
header files
#Include <as400_protos.h>
#include <as400_types.h>

(these both live in /usr/include, as well as in
/qopensys/qibm/proddata/os400/pase/include)

My C pgm source is compiled from a PF source file member.
So I copied those /usr/include header files to my lib into an h
srcfile.

My C pgm manages to find the header files this way, but I'm getting
all
kinds of compile errors related to the below as it "includes" the
header
files...
"The character ^? is not a valid C source character"
and many more other invalid specified characters...

Leads me to believe i have a ccsid issue on the source file but it is
37.

Anyone been down this path?  I saw something about using Rfile to
convert
files to ascii, but thinking that only applies if I move these header
files
to AIX.... which I'm not.
