RE: Searching a user space

Also you want to fix your prototype.
Your strstr function should be "VALUE" not "CONST" for the two parms.
Again, a good reason to use the www.rpgiv.com/downloads page when using C
and MI APis.

Subject: Searching a user space

I have an xml document loaded into a user space and I want to find a
specific tag.  I can use the %Scan BIF but I'm looking for something that
will search the entire user space at one time without having to loop and
check 64k at a time.

Currently I'm trying to use the C strstr function but it keeps giving me a
pointer value when the search string doesn't exist in the user space.  I
have listed the associated code below.

If anyone sees a problem with my code or has a better way I'm all ears (or
eyes in this case).

      // Search for substring

     d SchStr          pr              *   ExtProc('strstr')
Error number     
     d                                 *   Const Options(*String)
String to search 
     d                                 *   Const Options(*String)
String to find   

      // XML string being worked on                            
     d XMLString@      s               *                       
     d XMLString       s          64000    Based(XMLString@)   
                                                               

     d TmpPtr          s               * 

      // Search constants                                
     d b_PDF           s              5    Inz('<pdf ')  

         TmpPtr = SchStr(%TrimR(XMLString) :b_PDF);
