Re: Processing the Regexec() Matches Array

I'm having trouble getting Regexec() to compile in my program. I'm using
the example regex_h that Scott put out a couple years ago.

<snip>

The compiler error...

*RNF7542 30 001060 Parameter 4 is not valid as a parameter passed
by
reference.

*RNF7542 30 1 Parameter cannot be passed by reference when it can be
changed during the call.

Here is what I have...

d buffer s 1000a inz
d pattern s 512a inz('(?:\s+)(?:#)\s{0,5}([0-9a-z]+)')
d reg ds likeds(regex_t)
d numMatches s 10u 0 inz(100)
d matches ds likeds(regmatch_t) dim(100)
d rc s 10i 0
d len s 5u 0 inz
d foundWord s 100a inz

//Execute the regular expression to find pattern matches
rc = regexec(reg :%trim(buffer) :numMatches :matches :0);

Robert:

You described a little of what you're doing, showed the error messages, provided the variable definitions and showed the function as used in your program.

The biggest thing missing is the prototype itself, which is perhaps the only part of the program we need to see.

Can you post the prototype, please?
