RE: /Free coding of D specs

Thank you. Totally missed the Options Keyword.

I need another weekend.

Well this is not how I would format it, but this is the output from Linoma’s RPG Toolbox plug-in.

DCL-PR open INT(10) ExtProc('open');
path@ POINTER Value options(*String);
oflag INT(10) Value;
mode UNS(10) Value Options(*nopass);
codepage UNS(10) Value Options(*nopass);
END-PR;

Your basic problem was that you omitted the "Options” keyword. The keywords from the old D-specs just move across as-is - not sure why you thought it could be omitted.

I am trying to convert to /Free in D specs and am having some issues with the IFS Prototypes provided by Scott Klemment.

Here is my first one as provided by Scott:

D open PR 10I 0 ExtProc('open')
D path@ * Value options(*String)
D oflag 10I 0 Value
D mode 10U 0 Value Options(*nopass)
D codepage 10U 0 Value Options(*nopass)

Here is my /Free conversion.

Dcl-Pr Open Int(10) ExtProc('open') ; path@ Pointer ; oflag
Int(10) Value ; mode Uns(10) Value *NoPass ; codepage Uns(10) Value
*NoPass ; End-Pr;

The *Nopass element is not valid according to my RDi, but I cannot locate an example that shows what you do in place of the *NoPass.

Of course, I may be entirely wrong with all of this, or I should leave well enough alone and just leave the copybooks as they were.

I appreciate directions to documentation, I enjoy reading manuals.

Thank you,
