Brian and Tom,

Remember that you also need to set the INFO-LENGTH before calling to the
maximum INFO string length, in this case 256.
The actual info string length will be returned.

Re: [HP3000-L] SIMPLE (?) cobol question






Hi Tom:

Your Cobol program should call the MPEiX intrinsic GETINFO  thus:

WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01  INFO-STRING  PIC X(256).
01  INFO-LENGTH PIC S9(04) COMP.
01   PARM             PIC  S9(04) COMP.
01  RESULT          PIC  S9(04) COMP.

PROCEDURE DIVISION.

...
...
CALL INTRINSIC "GETINFO"  USING INFO-STRING,
                                                        INFO-LENGTH,
                                                        PARM
                                            GIVING RESULT.


HTH,
Brian.
