    <p>I'm trying to run a c++ script from IDL using the CALL_EXTERNAL function. I've been able to get it to work without arguments, but when I try to add an arg, such as a single IDL LONG INT, IDL crashes. with the error:</p> <pre><code>% CALL_EXTERNAL: Error loading sharable executable. Symbol: main, File = /home/inspired/workspace/TestCode/main. so /home/inspired/workspace/TestCode/main.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 % Execution halted at: TEST_EXTERNAL 7 /home/inspired/IDLWorkspace/Analyze Data/test_external.pro % $MAIN$ </code></pre> <p>The test code I'm using is as follows.</p> <p>The C++ code:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int temp = (int) strtod(argv[1], NULL); std:cout&lt;&lt;temp; return temp; } </code></pre> <p>The IDL code:</p> <pre><code>pro test_external c= call_external('/home/inspired/workspace/TestCode/main.so','main', long(2), /AUTO_GLUE) print,c end </code></pre> <p>This code is of course practice code, but if I can't get this to work, then there's no way I'll be able to pass a mixture of arrays, and values.</p> <p>I am aware that IDL passes everything by reference unless stated otherwise. So I've tried both treating the passed argument as a pointer in the C++ code, and setting the /ALL_VALUE keyword to pass the arg as a value. Neither works resulting in the same error as above. I've read about "glue functions" but I have not been able to find a guide to making them (despite every source indicating that it's 'easy for most programmers'" >.></p> <p>Anyway, my options are as follows, and if you can help me with any, I'd be eternally grateful:</p> <ol> <li>Get this CALL_EXTERNAL function to work</li> <li>Have the C code grab the data it needs from memory somehow</li> <li>Rewrite everything in C++ (you don't need to help with this one)</li> </ol> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
