What I was really after, was once you know the DLL exists, the Function exists, and ready to call the function. How do you do it in other languages (or even PB) without the "CALL DWORD Using" that PB provides???
Code:
CALL PROCEDURE-POINTER-DATA-ITEM USING BY REFERENCE | BY VALUE data-item-1 [SIZE size] BY REFERENCE | BY VALUE data-item-2 [SIZE size] .... BY REFERENCE | BY VALUE data-item-n [SIZE size] [ GIVING | RETURNING return-value-data-item]
PowerBASIC/Windows : CALL DWORD
MS-DOS BASIC : CALL ABSOLUTE
FORTRAN : I forgot, have not used in 42 years.
Generically - say, if you want to search for it - this is a "call by address" operation.
