Thanks Ann, Paul Reeves and Sean Leyne for replies.

I'm using Linux ( RH7.1 ), FireBird 1.0.0-0a.Beta2.

But the problem was solved. The prototype of the referenced
function is isc_vax_integer( char *buffer, short lenght ), where
*buffer is a pointer to the integer to convert.

The example at page 343 is wrong: the value is passed instead
of the pointer to the value.

Thanks anyway.
Best regards.
