Re: Parameter passing CL to RPGLE

Huh. That being said, I see the exact same results on v7r3. I was going
to suggest that perhaps Barbara could explain why the use of EXTNAME and
BASED in that context yields those results via the debugger, but from some
digging, perhaps done so already. In no particular order, and I presume
relevant [despite the only one mentioning msg CPF8E28 was unexplained, and
the response given was actually the only way I could force the error instead
of receiveing what is blatantly INCORROUT], some past topics:

"I have a procedure that receives a pointer as a parameter. There's also a
local data structure that is based on that pointer. When I mouse-over one of
the DS fields in debug, I just get the definition. If I try to create a
monitor, it gives me a CPF8E28 error. …"
