I attempted to call the Qp0lGetAttr API to get the creation date of a file in the IFS. I used the following prototype. D Qp0lGetAttr PR 10I 0 ExtProc('Qp0lGetAttr') D path * Const D AttArrPtr * Const D BuffPtr * Const D BuffLenSent 10U 0 Const D BuffLenNeed 10U 0 D BuffLenRet 10U 0 D FollowLink 10U 0 Value The above did not work, apparently because I had used Const. The program compiles fine both ways, but the API returns a -1 indicating that some kind of error occurred. I can toggle the 'path' parameter from Value to Const and get it to fail, with everything else as shown below. My reason for using Const was to document that the variable being pointed to was an Input only variable per the API's specs. Can someone in the know, educate me as to the different between Const and Value in this case? D Qp0lGetAttr PR 10I 0 ExtProc('Qp0lGetAttr') D path * Value D AttArrPtr * Value D BuffPtr * Value D BuffLenSent 10U 0 Value D BuffLenNeed 10U 0 D BuffLenRet 10U 0 D FollowLink 10U 0 Value
