Sorry to ask a programming question here, but you guys will probably know more about using the Apollo general system calls than anyone else. The problem: I'm writing a pascal routine on a DN3550 (9.7.5) for a Mentor application. The Pascal is Rev 7.3808 The problem comes when I try to use a vfmt_$ws call to spit out an integer. I get something that looks like an address when I use %d in the control line. The section of code looks something like this: FOR i := 1 TO some_number DO BEGIN vfmt_$ws5 (stream_$stdout,'%a%20t%d%.', record_name[i].string_name.chars, record_name[i].string_name.len, record_name[i].count, dummy, dummy); END; where count is just an integer. The values for count should be (using debugger, I know what they are) less than 10. In a test case where count should have been 1 and 3, I got results of 81920 and 212976, respectively. I have tried changing the variable to a double and printing with a %f control line. It works, but I want to get rid of the decimal. Another bad part is that my most up-to-date documentation on programming with general system calls is a 1985 edition. Please respond to the inet address below.
