I think it is doing exactly what you said James.
The RPG is just a wrapper for calling routines in C/C++ so string
input is in null terminated strings - output too I guess - although
why they wouldn't have code options(*string) on parm for the output
is anybody's guess.
That's just it: if it were doing that with data being passed to and from a C routine, it would make perfect sense.
But it isn't. Look at your own QSYSDIR/QIWSSAMPLE service program: nothing but an RPG module, and no non-system service programs bound to it.
It's coded as if it were designed to be called *from* C.
