Dynamic Linking

[Guest.Visitor]

What is your definition of Dynamic Linking? What are you trying to accomplish? I'm unclear as to your meaning. If you're looking for something like the DDLs in the PC programming world, you can accomplish something akin to that by placing a group of service programs into one source member and creating a module from the source. You can create a service program with it and add the exports from it to a binding directory, then reference that directory in a compile of some RPG IV driver program. Is this what you had in mind?

A while back I had posted a message asking for help on Dynamic Linking to service programs on the 400. I had some nice links to the News/400 where I could download some test code to do this for me. Well with this new change, I can't seem to find it anymore. I tried searching for my old stuff and found a few postings but I know I had more that aren't coming up. Can anyone point me in that direction again.

Trevor, Is it possible that those links were on this site? I know of at least two articles on dynamic linking that were published back in 1998 and 1999. One was "The Procrastinator's Guide to Programming" which was in the October 1999 issue, the other is "Dynamic Data" published in December of 1998. Neither one is available online, but you should be able to look at the code by selecting the download link next to the article title on these pages: http://www.midrangecomputing.com/mc/....cfm?md=199910 http://www.midrangecomputing.com/mc/....cfm?md=199812 David Morris
