I am trying to call a DLL procedure written in Delphi with the specification:
  procedure SLMessageDlg(const Code: word); stdcall; export; The Oracle 8 package has the specification:   PROCEDURE SLMessageDlg(Code IN NUMBER)     AS EXTERNAL LIBRARY lib_scilink
    NAME "SLMessageDlg"
    CALLING STANDARD PASCAL
    PARAMETERS(Code);
However whenever I call SLMessageDlg the number displayed in a message box is wrong (eg when the number 'Code' is 1 it actually displays 51800 !!!) What am I doing wrong?

Regards
