RE: strsep interface

["Bob cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's a pointer to a pointer, so you'd need to pass the value like this:

D myvalue          S                 250A
D ptr              S                    *  Inz(%addr(myValue))

C                  eval      pRtnVal = strsep(%addr(ptr):'whatever-in-here')

Subject: strsep interface

Help, can anyone lead me in the right direction.

I tried using the below C Function incapsulated in an ile Service Pgm. When
I debug the call to the function strsep, the paramter delimiter has the
delimiter(s)  I passed but the stringp Parm always starts off as NULLand the
function promptly ends as the code says to. I don't Understand what the
prototype in Rpg must be for this function to work properly. I thought the
interface was identical to Strtok(). What does **stringp mean??

This is the prototype I am using. Its works for Strtok but not Strsep.

 d StrSep          PR             *   ExtProc('strsep')
 d  String@                          *   Value Options(*string)
 d  Delimiters@                  *   Value Options(*string)

TIA
