Charles and John
Thanks for your suggestions.
Appreciate the help.
I haven't ever used the QNTC structure before so it will take somemore
learning on my part.
Right now, I'm wondering how this gets me to a pc network folder, like on
drive T: where a lot of our existing folders reside?
I haven't quit got the connection on how this works.

Not sure what the original requestor wanted, but using QNTC to try and
move files to a network drive is painfully flakey at best. Usually
because of mismatches between iSeries and Windows security.
If you want a FREE option, look at setting up Windows Services for Unix
and using NFS to attach to the server drives.
Another free option would be FTP.
If you would like a commercial option for doing Windows files transfers
without the security issues, check out our IFSTools software.
There is an API for sending and retrieving files from/to any Windows
share via CL command.
You can request a FREE demo from our web site or contact me directly.

First of all, "drive T:" means nothing...that drive mapping is
distinct to a user's PC. While you may have a network share mapped as
"drive T" I could have the same share mapped as "drive J"...
The important thing is to know the "Universal Naming Convention" (or
UNC) path which is
\\pcservername\sharename
Windows uses a file sharing protocol known as Server Message Block (or
SMB)
QNTC is the IBM i's SBM client interface, so you can use it to connect
to Windows network shares
If I've got a Windows PC named MYWINSERVER that has a file share named
MYCOOLFILES, then I can access the files in that share by using
\\MYWINSERVER\MYCOOLFILES
in Windows (try doing a start-->run )
or from the i
/QNTC/MYWINSERVER/MYCOOLFILES
try using WRKLNK '/QNTC/MYWINSERVER/MYCOOLFILES/*'
depending on how the i is configured, your existing windows servers
may not have been auto discovered. So you might need to
mkdir '/QNTC/MYWINSERVER'
before you can see the server and its shares.

Darrell,
I create .pdf files in the ifs via RPG and CL, then use an FTP script to
add to a folder on either our (PC)server or our customers.
Hope this helps.
April

Folks, I have posted code at http://code.midrange.com/6d4d39e9e7.html
that
is intended to exercise the cvtch procedure (to convert hex characters
to
the binary data they represent).
# D cvtch PR ExtProc('cvtch')
# D ptrcharOut 32767 Options(*VarSize)
# D ptrHexIn 65534 Const
# D charLength 10I 0 Value
# cvtch(ASCII: hexIn: hexLen) ;
Dennis, when I looked at your code, I thought the problem was going to
be related to the length parameter. You named the parameter
"charLength" so I thought you were going to pass in the length of the
first parameter (ptrCharOut). But the call is correct, passing the
length of the second hex parameter (ptrHexIn).
So the prototype isn't really incorrect, but it's misleading.

Point taken, Barbara, thank you. I'm not sure of the history that caused
me
to use that name. I do know that in both cases (cvtch, cvthc) the length
parameter expresses the longer (the hex) length.
