RE: %Addr & Passing Parameter -- RPG400-L

Mark, 

Won't that address become bogus when the first program terminates (with LR
on)? Oh, I see, you're calling the CLP from RPG#1.  CLP just passes the
address of parm on to RPG#2.  

My take on the problem was that he has a clp wrapper that calls RPG#1, then
RPG#2.  If this is the case, then CLP should call RPG#1, which then calls
RPG#2 directly.  Still, seems cludgy to me....

If you must, you can pass the paramter pointer parameter through the CL as
a 16 byte character field. Here is a quick example

RPG 1:
 *************** Beginning of data *************************
 Dfield            S             10    INZ('THIS FIELD')
 Dcltst            PR                  extpgm('TSTPTRC1')
 D                                 *   const
  /free
   cltst(%addr(field));
   *inlr = *on;
  /end-free

CLP 1:

 *************** Beginning of data ******
 pgm parm(&addr)
 dcl var(&addr) type(*Char) len(16)
 call pgm(tstptr2) parm(&addr)
 endpgm

RPG2:

 *************** Beginning of data *******************************
 Dproc             PR                  extpgm('TSTPTR2')
 D p_field                         *   const
 Dproc             PI
 D p_field                         *   const
 Dfield            s             10    based(p_field)
  /free
    dsply field;
    return;
  /end-free

dsply returns 'THIS FIELD'


Thanks,

Mark

Jean,

Why have a CLP in the middle of the call? Just call the second RPGLE
programme directly. Or is there a logical explanation for the CLP?

Besides that:
1) in the CL you have defined the second parm as DEC, but in the prototype
it is CHAR. I assmue the &OKFlag is not a passed parm. In the second
programme the second parm is also DEC: a mismatch of data types.

2) You also use an array based on a pointer. Do you allocate memory for the
array?

3) The two arrays in the second programme do not have the same length.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
