Windows also looks for DLL's in the same directory as the running
program. So you could copy the PCOMM DLL to your working directory as a
test to see what happens. And if no more DLL's are needed, it might
even work.
Or like Seymour said, try putting the PCOMM DLL directory in your PATH.
Windows doesn't make that easy. Control Panel, System, Advanced System
Settings, Environment Variables, find Path in the list and run through
the goofy editor.

That's what I thought too, but what variable? And where is that documented?

I suspect that you need to add the DLL to an environment variable.

Subject: Using EHLLAPI from ooRexx
Hi All,
I have sent this question to the ooRexx help list but have not yet seen an
answer. Hoping someone here has been down this path and can help cure my
ignorance.
I have an automation task before me that needs some complex 3270 screen
interactions, so I was hoping to use ooRexx from the company laptop (Windows
10) using the EHLLAPI interface to PCOMM.
I started with a simple logon script to learn the connection/setup
requirements, and after (I thought) successfully executing rxfuncadd for the
EHLLAPI interface, the first actual call to EHLLAPI (for the Connect function)
gets oorexx error 43.1, cannot find routine EHLLAPI, indicating to me that the
rxfuncadd did not really work.
Then it occurred to me to ask how does rxfuncadd know where to find the EHLLAPI
DLL? Is there some environment variable that needs to be set pointing to the
PCOMM directory where the DLL is stored?
There is some old Rexx EHLLAPI interface material in the PCOMM V6 documentation
available on the web, but I now have PCOMM V14 on my machine and it seems that
the Rexx examples have disappeared from the V14 documentation (at least I
didn't find any).
I am a little "lost at sea" here, so I would appreciate any help or RTFM you
can provide. Or better yet a publicly available set of example scripts for EHLLAPI
interactions with PCOMM.
Peter
