So you are attempting to push the return value onto a stack that does not exist. Granted, the error message is a bit misleading. I suggest you take a look at the 4GL Supplement manual, pages S-192-204, which covers calling 4gl functions from c. Among other things, you need to call fgl_start() to initialize the 4gl stack, fgl_call() to call the 4gl function, and fgl_end() to free the stack up.
