SUMMARY

Microsoft DB-Library (DB-Lib) for OS/2 (PDBLIB.DLL) is a 16-bit DLL. In order to write a 32-bit OS/2 application that makes use of Microsoft DB- Lib, it is necessary to write a thunking layer that the 32-bit application can use to call the 16-bit PDBLIB.DLL.

The exact implementation of this thunking layer will vary with the compiler being used. The compiler vendor's technical support group should be contacted for information on thunking to 16-bit DLLs using their product.
