Would below work?

DOpenDir PR * EXTPROC('opendir')
D dirname * VALUE options(*string)


D In_DirName S 640 inz('/myDir')
D dirPtr S *

C eval dirPtr = OpenDir(%trimr(In_DirName))
C If dirPtr = *NULL

. . . .

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!
