Re: Calling an ILE C Routine from ILE RPG (V7R2)

The compiler will always add the null terminator. What the procedure
receives is a pointer to a null terminated string.I have written dozens of
routine using *STRING. If it didn't work, nothing would work.
Compiler either they work or they don't.

In my experience, when a C string is required as a parameter, where this
"string" contains readable characters, and a terminating null character,
I'd rather code the prototype for this parameter as:

D PW_BUF * VALUE OPTIONS(*STRING)

Thank you very much!! That did the trick! Now I know what to read about
and learn.

Additionally, I'd load the PW_BUF as:

C EVAL PW_BUF = %TRIM(PW_BUF) + X'00'

The compiler is supposed to append a X'00' but including yours as a

safety measure won't harm your execution.

Thanks again for the hint!
