VB Forum / Win API / April 2008

Hello,

I have a VB6.0 application which calls a PASCAL DLL (it is actually a
Clarion DLL compiled as ,PASCAL).   This DLL returns the memory address of a
large string.   How do I then  access that?

ie:

    MemoryAddress = PascalFunction(in1,in2)

Can this be done?

The DLL does this:

   glo:returnData = '2mb string'
   return(ADDRESS(glo:returnData))

OR?

How can I pass large strings (2MB and 4MB max) from the DLL back to the
VB6.0 application.  I don't believe I can return it this way:

  returnString = PascalFunctio(in1,in2)

because I believe the maximum allowed is 64K string size?

Essentially, I need to be able to handle take a large string in the PASCALL
DLL, pass it to the VB6.0 EXE and then pass it further up the chain to a
VBScript/ASP page.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
