Re: looking for example of using fwrite in RPGLE

Oh - sorry Jeff.

This is from Scott's buffo_h.rpgle file so I guess he added it after he had done the ebook.

*-----------------------------------------------------------------
* fwrite(): Write items
*
* data = (input) data items to write
* size = (input) size of each data item
* count = (input) number of data items
* stream = (input) pointer to FILE structure to write to
*
* returns the number of full items written. A short count
* indicates an error.
*-----------------------------------------------------------------
D fwrite PR 10U 0 ExtProc('_C_IFS_fwrite')
D data * value
D size 10U 0 value
D count 10U 0 value
D stream like(pFILE) value

I've never had need to use it but it looks straightforward. Hopefully you can figure it out.

There are also examples of this set of APIs in this thread http://forums.iprodeveloper.com/forums/aft/49525/afpg/2 which I located by googling for "fwrite scott klement site:iprodeveloper.com" (sans quotes)

Bryan and Jon,
Thank you for the informed responses.
Unfortunately, neither of them address the *fwrite *operation.
I am familiar with the *write* operation, but had wanted to use the *fwrite*
in my application.
I have since reverted back to the *write* function, but would still like to
know how to use the *fwrite*.
I have looked at the documented prototypes, but not being a *C* or *Java*
programmer, can not totally understand them.
