Hi,

I have pasted below the guts of a function I am having issues with. Essentially I want to get the value of the 'Symbol' field in the MSXDataRec structure. Its all in PowerBASIC which is a bit new to me. I am declaring the s_Symbol as ASCIIZ * 10 because it seems that that type demands a length. Perhaps someone knows what the correct length is? The function works in that it returns the string MSXIDS. I just want to be sure that when I move from using MSXTest to the real thing that it actually returns the symbol Im using... I get the feeling that Im not referencing it properly.

FUNCTION ExportSignal SDECL ALIAS "ExportSignal" _
(BYVAL a_psDataRec AS MSXDataRec PTR, _
BYVAL a_psDataInfoArgs AS MSXDataInfoRecArgsArray PTR, _
BYVAL a_psNumericArgs AS MSXNumericArgsArray PTR, _
BYVAL a_psStringArgs AS MSXStringArgsArray PTR, _
BYVAL a_psCustomArgs AS MSXCustomArgsArray PTR, _
BYVAL a_psResultRec AS MSXResultRec PTR) EXPORT AS LONG

DIM s_Symbol AS ASCIIZ * 10
LOCAL l_psDataRec AS MSXDataRec PTR

s_Symbol = @a_psDataRec.@pszSymbol
OutputDebugString("Enigma_Symbol - " & s_Symbol)

END FUNCTION

As we discussed in PM and SkyPE, for C++:

a_psDataRec->pszSymbol;
