Re: extproc('open') producing -1 return code

You can also use %addr(filename: *data), it will adjust in case the
field uses 4 bytes length, or fixed.

Depends also on the declaration of filename. If varying, use
"%addr(filename) + 2" instead.

i have the following code that is returning a -1 result.

filename = '/tmp/file.txt' + x'00';
fd = openf(%addr(filename) : 8388682 : 420 : 819 ) ;

i dont know why -1 is being thrown. i dont see anything in joblog.

where

can i find out what is causing the problem?

__errno will return the C ERRNO value (sort of like our MSGID)
strerror will return the message text for a given ERRNO
