Calling 4gl function from C main
Brian Hampson asked whether a 4GL function can be called from a C main. Paul Watson said it was straightforward and in the manual. Jonathan Leffler said it works in Classic 4GL but not Dynamic 4GL, and pointed to the fglapi.h header and manual. Brian figured it out, noting the push and pop of values was the tricky part.

Thanks. I've figured it out now. Not too hard really, just a little tricky remembering to pop and push :) B. -- Please send administrative requests to admin@ASL.CA Brian P.
