| subject: | Returning long strings to REXX from extension DLL |
Why, Hello All...
The REXX reference states that in order to return - from an extension DLL -
data longer than the pre-allocated 256 chars of the default return string,
one has to allocate room for it using DosAllocMem.
Just to be on the safe side: This /does/ mean that as control is returned
to REXX, REXX will, by itself, clean up this allocated memory when
required?
Can I, by the way, use a standard C memory allocation function rather than
calling DosAllocMem explicitly?
Thanks in advance, of course... ;-)
