Re: Passing data to a procedure expecting a pointer

Hi Mike

That is the procedure address - the address of a procedure.

If you need to pass a pointer to a procedure, you can declare the prototype with a regular variable - that will pass the pointer to the variable.

But if you absolutely must prototype it as a pointer, then you can use the %addr() function on a variable.

I am creating a file on the IFS. The procedure I am using is expecting
a pointer to the data I am writing. Is that the %paddr() BIF? It has
been so long since I did more advanced RPG that I can't recall.
