Re: 1 byte return parameter to CL

I have a procedure that returns a 1A value and is called by a CL. The CL's
variable is defined as *CHAR and LEN(1). The procedure prototype does not
have ExtProc(*CL). So, why is the program working? I've debugged it and
saw that it is getting the correct value.

I went in and changed the variable in CL to be 2 bytes, per a number of
postings I found on the web as a workaround, and instead of getting 'junk'
in the 2nd position of the CL variable, I get it in the first. Which seems
to be the opposite of what the various sites say to do.
One site example:

So now I'm left wondering, is ExtProc(*CL) no longer required for 1-byte
return variables on procedures that will be called by CL in IBM i 7.1? If
so, very cool. If not, I'm baffled.
