I have been trying to get IBM to fix their header files (in SQSYSINC) and in their manuals for years. The problem stems from the fact that years ago, IBM semi-automated the translation of C header files to RPG - and in the days before Int was introduced type B (BinDec) was the only option for binary parms. Why they continued it when RPG IV came along and introduced true integers I have no idea - particularly when it causes truncation errors on large values - maybe because without Bruce Vining around there's nobody left with enough interest in making the automated tools all work properly. Although come to think of it Bruce was still around long after Ints came on the scene.


Jon, the QSYSINC header files have had 'I' instead of 'B' for several releases (not sure exactly when). But I think it might have been Bruce who made the change.

Qc3CalculateHash doesn't have a prototype in QSYSINC. Dan was using a Technote example.
