calling c-program from rexx with a stem

[frapp]

Hi,
does someone know how to call a c-programm from within a rexx program and pass stem variables? And maybe a short example how the c-program deals with stems/arrays and returns them back to the rexx program?

Two questions:

1) A C program can handle stems???

2) Why would someone who knows both REXX and C choose to write in C on a platform that supports both?

The c-program is third party software. The rexx is my own.
C can handle array which is the same as stems. The question is if a c-programm can handle a stem/array as input parm.

Have you tried asking this in a C forum? It may be more appropriate there. If the code is 3rd party have you asked them if their code supports stems? They may be able to help you out. I write assembler programs these can be made to read REXX stems but not all my programs do so. C may be the same.

Hope this helps
