Re: strfmon() / *help*

I'm not familiar with strfmon?  Thats not ANSI C, is it?

int strfmon(char *s, size_t maxsize, const char *format, ...);

the ... signifies a variable number of additional parameters,
you'd need to read about what additional parameters you can
pass it to it, and set up your prototype as needed.

Given the following line, assuming that money is an int...
(I'm assuming this because of the %i)
        strfmon(string, 100, "%i", money); /* $1,234.56      */

Should be something like:

D strfmon         PR            10I 0 ExtProc('strfmon')
D   s                             *   value
D   maxsize                     10I 0 value
D   format                        *   value
D   money                       10I 0 value options(*nopass)

If you're using V3R7 or later, I'm told that you can use
options(*string) on your "char" parameters, as well, if you're
running V3R2 (like me) you'll need to concatenate a x'00' to
signify the end of the string.

Have fun..
