Oleg,

I haven't checked all your code, but what I do see is that you did not
specify VALUE on the second parameter to waitpid. That way you pass the
pointer by reference, i.e. you pass a pointer to a pointer.

Hi, my name is Oleg. I am writing RPGLE programm.
Actually, i have been trying to spawn proccesses and then chek their
status but i have problem.
ProcessID = spawn(.....);
PID = waitpid(PID:stat_loc:0);
I use waitpid(PID:stat_loc:0) function to chek status but it always
return stat_loc = *zero but PID = ProcessID.
My code is near below. If anybode could help me - it would be
great!!!!
