Re: Using printf in RPG and keeping the console open - again

Hi Scott,

<snip>
It's not different.  You're crazy. :)

lol.

OK. if in doubt - Test it! I've just written this lovely little program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   printf("Certainly not another Hello World program!\n");
   return 0;
}


From this:
I created a C module using: CRTCMOD MODULE(PEDLIB/TEST1) SRCFILE(PEDLIB/QCSRC)
I created a program object using: CRTPGM PGM(PEDLIB/TEST1) MODULE(PEDLIB/TEST1) ACTGRP(QILE)
When I run the program from a command line I see the console flash and then disappear - you're right! That's exactly what I get from RPG. Now I'm wondering what Barbara actually did write about C handling printf differently to RPG. They seem to have behaved the same way.
Maybe there was something Simon alluded to in his mail that I missed. It wouldn't be the first time. :-) 

Thanks Scott.
