Re: How to use stdin/stdout/stderr from ILE RPG?

[Niels Liisberg <nli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

perhaps you could simply use the C functions from stdio: I would do
something like this:

 ctl-opt debug(*yes) dftactgrp(*NO) actgrp('QILE');

 ctl-opt main(main);



 dcl-pr printf   int(10) extproc(*CWIDEN: 'printf');

    format       pointer value options(*string);

 end-pr;



 dcl-proc main;



     printf( 'Hello world ' +x'25');



 end-proc;
