Using CALL_EXTERNAL with a pointer to a pointer [message #19719]

Folks,

I would like to interface IDL to an existing C function in an existing VMS
shareable image. The C prototype looks like

int ext_camac_canaf (camcab16r **resultp)

where camcab16r is a structure whose definition I know. Is it possible to use
the CALL_EXTERNAL interface to access the structure members? Do I have to write
a wrapper routine in C? Use LINK_IMAGE?

Any input appreciated.
