Syntax Format |
C and C++ |
edamethod (&structure_name, alpha_string, &len_alpha_string); |
Cobol |
CALL edamethod USING STRUCTURE-NAME, ALPHA-STRING, LEN-ALPHA-STRING. |
Visual Basic |
edamethod STRUCTURE_NAME&, ALPHA_STRING$, len(ALPHA_STRING$) |
RPG |
CALLP edamethod (structure_name: alpha_string: len_alpha_string) |
Note: Examples are not shown in all languages for each method. There are examples supplied on disk with the product that can be examined to study specific syntaxes. See sections Programming Examples for supplied examples.
