Re: UIM Exit Programs in RPG/ILE

Hi,

I found the below post in the archives and have been trying to get it to work.

But when it tries to call the exit I get the following:

Message ID . . . . . . : CPF6A14 Severity . . . . . . . : 20
Message type . . . . . : Information
Date sent . . . . . . : 12/06/20 Time sent . . . . . . : 16:10:22
Message . . . . : Program defined by variable EXITOPT cannot be called.
Cause . . . . . : An attempt was made to call the program identified by
dialog variable EXITOPT which is defined in panel group...


Which is preceded by:

Message ID . . . . . . : MCH3602 Severity . . . . . . . : 40
Message type . . . . . : Escape
Date sent . . . . . . : 12/06/20 Time sent . . . . . . : 15:43:56
Message . . . . : Pointer type not valid for requested operation.
Cause . . . . . : A pointer type was not valid for the requested operation.
Recovery . . . : Correct the pointer use.
Which sort of makes sense. Just wondered if it's possible?

Regards.
Liam.

Can I point the UIM to an exit "program" based on a procedure
pointer address? I'd like not to have to write a separate program for the
exit program. My reading of the UIM documentation states that it can call
an exit program by address. So, I defined the variable in the panel group
as a pointer variable. In my RPG/ILE program I would like to pass the
address to the UIM dialog as follows. It seems this should work but I
can't get the program to compile. It says it can't find the procedure
name at bind time.


header.ILExtPgm = %paddr('IncompleteListExit');
header.PanelId = iPnlGrp;
header.JobName = pJobId;

callp IBMUIM_PutVariable( iHandle: header: %len(header)
: 'HEADER': ApiErrC );
if ApiErrC.BytAvail > *zero; // if an error occurred
callp CancelProgram(); // cancel the program
endif;

...snip...

dcl-proc IncompleteListExit export;
dcl-pi *n;
pCallType int(10);
pAppHandle char(8);
pListName char(10);
pListDir int(10);
pEntReq int(10);
end-pi;

...snip...

return;
end-proc;
