Re: c_ifs_open Problem

Sorry, should be

dcl-pr OpenFile Pointer ExtProc('C_IFS_fopen');
PR_FileName Pointer Options(*String) Value;
PR_FileMode Pointer Options(*String) Value;
end-pr;

dcl-s FilePtr Pointer;

FilePtr = OpenFile('/tmp/wc/images/post_out.json':
'r');

May I suggest.

dcl-pr OpenFile Pointer ExtProc('C_IFS_fopen');
PR_FileName Char(256) Options(*String) Value;
PR_FileMode Char(25) Options(*String) Value;
end-pr;

dcl-s FilePtr Pointer;

FilePtr = OpenFile('/tmp/wc/images/post_out.json':
'r');

Have not tested but should work.

Hi Barbara: This is from Simon's site where you posted a comment.

dcl-pr OpenFile pointer extproc('_C_IFS_fopen') ;
*n pointer value ; //File name
*n pointer value ; //File mode
end-pr ;

PathFile = '/tmp/wc/images/post_out.json' + x'00' ;
OpenMode = 'r' + x'00' ;
FilePtr = OpenFile(%addr(PathFile):%addr(OpenMode)) ;

** Result is FilePtr = *null

copied from Simon, Liam also has a version.

PathFile = '/tmp/wc/images/post_out.json' + x'00' ;
OpenMode = 'r' + x'00' ;
FilePtr = OpenFile(%addr(PathFile):%addr(OpenMode)) ;

What is the prototype for OpenFile?
