Hi Mike,

Your declaration looks good, at least I produced very similar one:

* (1)
DECLARE INTEGER ExtEscape IN gdi32;
	INTEGER hdc, INTEGER nEscape, INTEGER cbInput,;
	STRING @lpszInData, INTEGER cbOutput, STRING @lpszOutData
* or (2)
DECLARE INTEGER ExtEscape IN gdi32;
	INTEGER hdc, INTEGER nEscape, INTEGER cbInput,;
	INTEGER lpszInData, INTEGER cbOutput, INTEGER lpszOutData

(1) or (2) is defined by the way you allocate input and output buffers.

Those buffers might create a problem. I would check if there is enough space allocated for both. Sometimes such buffers also require first member containing size of the buffer etc.

May be provide more details, then I could be more specific.

I have an example of how to use Escape function:
