<h2>API Prototype Changes</h2>
<p>For many of the LDAP APIs, the prototype has changed. On many of the API
prototypes where a <strong>"char *"</strong> is used, the prototype has changed
to use a <strong>"const char *"</strong>. This is the result of changes to the
standards. i5/OS<SUP>(TM)</SUP> is providing a way to transition to the new prototypes.
Inserting</p>
<p>#define _QGLDNOCONST</p>
<p>in applications code prior to the include of ldap.h causes the definition of
the old prototypes that use <strong>"char *"</strong> to be made available. If
_QGLDNOCONST, which is the default, is not defined, the definition of the new
prototypes that use <strong>"const char *"</strong> is made available.</p>
<p>In some future release, the use of _QGLDNOCONST will be withdrawn.</p>
