Does anyone have a brief example of how to access a C routine from an
RM/COBOL program...in Micro Focus I can do this:

set dllPPtr to entry 'C:\PVSW\Bin\w3btrv7.dll'.
       MOVE ZEROS TO FILL.
      *OPEN THE FILE
       MOVE 0 to OPCODE.
       MOVE "C:\PVSW\samples\sample.btr" to KBUF.
       MOVE 26 to KEYLENGTH.

       CALL "BTRCALLID" USING
             BY VALUE OPCODE
             BY REFERENCE POSBLOCK
             BY REFERENCE DBUF
             BY REFERENCE DBLENGTH
             BY REFERENCE KBUF
             BY VALUE KEYLENGTH
             BY VALUE KEYNO
             BY REFERENCE CLIENTID
             RETURNING BTR-STATUS

Is there an equivalent in RM?COBOL?

Thanks,
