I am trying to update some novell system calls to use the newer (and not obsolete) functions available. In almost any case, I need a connection handle to the server before I can get anything else. Used to be able to use the NWGetConnectionHandle(), but it has been obsolete since 6/97. The replacements are NWCCScanConnRefs() and NWCCOpenConnByRef(). Problem I'm having is that the NWCCOpenConnByRef() reports and 'INVALID_PARAMETERS' error when I call it.

dll record for the prototype is:

long pascal NWCCOpenConnByRef(long, long, long, lplong)

and the stored procedure is

*——

itr=0

ref=0

state=1

null$=0

hndl=0

loop

• this returns zero and the 'ref' field appears valid

r=NWCCScanConnRefs(itr, ref)

until r

• this returns the error code 8866h

r=NWCCOpenConnByRef(ref, state, null$, hndl)

debug

repeat

*—–

anyone see my problem/error or do you have any other way to get the connection handle?
