Dear sirs,

when I run the command:

call cc74 'FindFirstFileA'
using by reference findFileName *> lpFileName
by reference WIN32-FIND-DATA *> lpFindFileData
returning fileSearchHandle

I'm getting an error 173 Called program file not found in directory/drive

FindFirstFileA

How do I solve this

call winapi 'FindClose' using by value fileSearchHandle *> hFindFile

do you have add a x'00' for your filename?

Hi Rogerio.

FindFirstFileA is a Windows API function which resides in the Windows Kernel32.dll which is found in either the Windows\\System32 folder for 64-bit or the Windows\\SysWOW64 folder if it is 32-bit. This should be found automatically.

If you are creating an exe you should be linking to the kernel32.lib library which is part of the Windows SDK but is included with Net Express in the Lib folder.

If you are running as .int or gnt then you should have the following call before your call to FindFirstFile

call "cob32api"

How are you building your executable and under what OS are you running?

RTS 173 means it can't find the called module or entry point you are trying to call. How is you target built and linked in NX 3.1?

Most likely you probably need to load the kernell32.dll first to make the functions in it available. FindFirstFileA is a function/entry point in kernel32.dll

try:

In working storage:

01 my-library procedure-pointer.

and then:

In procedure division:

set my-library to entry "kernel32"  *> This will load the kernel32.dll which should be on the path"

Or, alternatively, just

call "cob32api"

cob32api isn't documented very well. It shows up in a sample program and in the docs under Examples for calling a Windows API:

Example of Calling a Win32 API Routine

The following program makes use of an API routine to retrieve the current date and time.
