Hi your out in the space

I tried to create a DLL with Delphi 2.0 with some special functions for
the InterBase Server. My problem is that i can't pass any value through
the parameters. The return values are correct.

I made following definitions

DECLARE EXTERNAL FUNCTION ABC
CHAR(40), INTEGER
RETURNS INTEGER BY VALUE
ENTRY_POINT "ABS" MODULE_NAME "LIBRARY"

DLL-Source

function ABC(s: pChar, i: integer): integer;
begin
  ...
  ABC := xyz;
end;

Does someone know how to define vars s and i correct ?

Thanx
Tom

How funny, i didn't even try to write a UDF in Pascal. (i am using C)
But in the Interbase-manuals you can find that every parameter passed
to Interbase has to be by Reference (like your pchar).

int ABC(char *s, int *i)
{
   ...
   ABC := xyz;

Hope this helps,

Add a cdecl and a export to your function declaration

hope this helps
