Hm. This isn't quite working:
Declare THEFN External('THEFN') Entry(
Char(*) byaddr,
Char(*) byaddr,
Fixed Bin(31) byaddr,
Char(*) byaddr,
Fixed Bin(31) byaddr,
Char(*) byaddr
)
returns( byvalue Fixed Bin(31) )
options ( nodescriptor );
On compile, this gets RC=4 and:
IBM1214I W 35.0 A dummy argument will be created for argument number
4 in entry reference VSHPROT.
Then it linkedits OK but gets a ABENDU4038 on run. This differs from your
recommendation by being an EXTERNAL function; I had to use NODESCRIPTOR because
ASM isn't supported for functions, apparently.
Ideas?
