You need to code a prototype that looks like this:

     D #pgmAuth        PR              n   ExtProc(*CL: '#PGMAUTH')
     D  inUser                       10a   const
     D  inPgm                        10a   const

The EXTPROC(*CL) keyword will fix the return value errors.

If you can't change the RPG procedure, a relatively simple workaround is
to declare the &AUTH variable as TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2).  Then, use %SST() to
only check the first byte of it.
