The CEETREC API will do that, but it does it by ending the activation group in which the calling procedure is running. So if the C program and RPG are in the same A/G then this will not work for you either. -BOB -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James H H Lampert Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 11:26 AM To: rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Quick-out from several levels of procedure calls? Would anybody happen to know how to quickly ABEND out of an arbitrary number of levels of prototyped procedure calls in an ILE RPG program, without also taking out the calling program? The situation here is of a recursive descent parser in ILE RPG (which makes bound calls to a scanner in ILE C), which is, in turn, going to be called externally from C ("#pragma linkage(MYPARSER,OS,nowiden)"). In simple cases, I can just return from the procedure calls with an indicator set (I routinely use *IN13 for a failure indicator ["bad luck"]), and do the final return in the main program with a halt indicator set, and that will give the calling C program an "error" return, but I've got a place where that would be rather difficult to do. I tried sending an escape message, but that also propagated to, and crashed, the calling C program, rather than simply telling it the parser had abended. -- JHHL -- This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l.
