RE: QWCRSSTS problem

[David FOXWELL <David.FOXWELL@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's definitely not my day. I put RTVNETA in a CLLE, made a module and bound it to my program. First time I ever did that.
I'm just getting rubbish back instead of the system name, although debugging shows the correct system name at the endpgm line of the CL. As I was mixing data types. Debug gives TYPE = FIXED LENGTH STRING, LENGTH = 10 BYTES for the system name in the CLLE and in the RPGLE

At least I learnt how to do post my code :

And how to post smileys. If only I new how to code RPG programs :)
