Hi Joep
I read what you wrote
I looked at the IBM manual for V7r1
Still don’t know where these changes/parameters are to be placed
I even dropped the function and created it in the following manner - with the same error
CREATE FUNCTION PRODPA.EBSCST (
CHAR(4),
CHAR(6),
CHAR(2),
DECIMAL(2, 0),
CHAR(2),
CHAR(1),
CHAR(2) )
RETURNS DECIMAL(21, 6)
LANGUAGE RPGLE
SPECIFIC PRODPA.EBSCST
DETERMINISTIC
NO SQL
EXTERNAL NAME 'PRODPA/ITMMSTSP(GETSTDCOST)'
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL

Subject: RE: Pointer error when calling external function
Hi Alan,
In the SQL reference manual it is specified under 'CREATE FUNCTION':
GENERAL WITH NULLS
All applicable parameters are passed. The parameters are defined to be in the following order:
v The first N parameters are the input parameters that are specified on the CREATE FUNCTION statement.
v An additional argument is passed for an indicator variable array.
v A parameter for the indicator variable for the result.
Note that the result is returned as a value of a C value returning function.
For example:
return_val func(parameter-1, parameter-2, ...)
So you need to specify two extra parameters (the indicator variable array for the input and the indicator variable for the result).

RE: Pointer error when calling external function
Thanks Joep
I thought it was more to do with the function as I had tested the
procedure in a small test RPG program with no problems I dropped the
function and created it again with COMMIT - see below But my test is
STILL failing with the same problem (using STRDBG) You said And you
should be supplying extra parameters for a null map for the input
parameters and a null indicator variable for the result.
I didn’t make any changes for this
Is this the problem?
Where would this change need to be?
CREATE FUNCTION PRODPA.EBSCST (
CHAR(4),
CHAR(6),
CHAR(2),
DECIMAL(2, 0),
CHAR(2),
CHAR(1),
CHAR(2) )
RETURNS DECIMAL(21, 6)
LANGUAGE RPGLE
SPECIFIC PRODPA.EBSCST
DETERMINISTIC
NO SQL
RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
NOT FENCED
EXTERNAL NAME 'PRODPA/ITMMSTSP(GETSTDCOST)'
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL WITH NULLS
