Re: Open Directory Failing

In_DirName is never set in this example code.

You need to:
In_DurName = %str(dirname);

Also, you shouldn't need to add the NULL termination (x'00') at the end.

Open Directory Failing







Can anyone suggest why this might not be working?



If I hard code a directory path where PathName is, it works. If I pass a
directory into the program in an *ENTRY PLIST, it doesn't.



DOpenDir PR * EXTPROC('opendir')

D dirname * VALUE



D In_DirName S 640

D PathName S 640



C eval PathName = %Trimr(In_DirName) +

C %Trim(x'00')


C eval dirName = OpenDir(%addr(PathName))

C If dirName = *NULL





I've also tried it with using options(*STRING) on the prototype and not
passing the address.



I'm sure it's something simple but I'm not seeing it.



Thanks in advance!
