There is some difference between using USE MSWIN and INCLUDE'ing the 3 files than make up the module MSWIN.

In the MAIN below, I use the MSWIN reference, while in the subroutine, I specifically INCLUDE the .INS files. The link step shows an unknown symbol (GetUserNameA) but only for the subroutine, not the main.

The INCLUDE'ed files win32api.ins does contain the STDCALL for GETUSERNAME that maps to the API function GetUserNameA.

MAIN
Code:

!    PROGRAM SIMPLE
    winapp
    PROGRAM MAIN
    use mswin
    character*(256) user
    integer:: i,j,k
    i=len(user)-1
    if(getusername(user,i))continue
    end


SUBROUTINE
Code:

    subroutine abcd(user)
    include <clearwin.ins>
    include <win32api.ins>
    include <win32prm.ins>
   
    character*(*) user
    integer:: i,j,k
    i=len(user)-1
    if(getusername(user,i))continue
    return
    end

I assume it works OK when you put USE MSWIN in the subroutine too ?

There is no immediate explanation for this. It is OK for /64.

I suggest that you provide your own interface in the form:

STDCALL GetUserNameA 'GetUserNameA' (STRING,REF):LOGICAL*4

then call GetUserNameA.

John, yes, it works fine with USE MSWIN for all instances.

I discovered this as I integrated another routine and had left the INCLUDE's in place, versus the USE.

Paul, I've scanned all the routines and no more occurrences. I'll continue to USE MSWIN. I point this out only for its "bugginess".
