Apache - help with carriage controls to SYS$OUTPUT

[JRY]

I'm getting embedded carriage controls on my binary file during multitple (max 32k) writes to SYS$OUTPUT. I'm working in C and the function apache$$setsockopt() is supposed to resolve this issue. I was previously using Apache$fixbg.

Anyone have any examples to share to do this in my C code? and any ideas on how to link to this function? I also tried apache$set_ccl by calling it from my code via a logical but not working.

Thank you

Don't have an example, but the release notes here:

<>

tell you what image to link against, how to call the function, and what privileges or rights identifiers you need.

A snippet of your code showing what you're passing to apache$$setsockopt and what you're doing to verify that the call was successful (or not) might help folks diagnose why it's not working for you.

Yes, I've referenced that documentation and I see the function prototype but I'm still unclear exactly how to link in my makefile my obj from my c program to the Apache executable APACHE_APR_SHRP.EXE that contains the function APACHE$$SETSOCKOPT.

Do you have a source code reproducer or diagnostics or such?

Tried that reproducer with Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server and with another (newer, different) Apache server?

As for linking with Apache (and if I'm interpreting the "not working" phrase correctly), create a linker options file (called, say, YourOptionsFileName.OPT) with the following lines of text:

APACHE$APR_SHR/SHARE
APACHE$APR_SHRP/SHARE

and add a YourOptionsFileName/OPTION parameter onto the LINK command, and you're probably good to go.

I think that did the trick and got me on the road to figure out the rest. My output is no longer corrupted.

Thank you for your assistance!
