I seem to recall that in order to do what you want to do, you have
to create a 3GL progam to CALL apt, and this is what allows you to
link in some other 3GL routine that you call from an APT procedure. 
In $SYBASE/sample/aptforms there is an example of this, including an
example of the generic main routine (gen_main.c). 
For further information I suggest calling Sybase Tech Support, they
probably have additional information on precisely this problem.
