Problems with my first DLL

I am writing my first apllication, which requires a DLL. I seem to be having problems and I am not exactly sure where the problem is.
The error I get in the main form is:
[Error} datacollex.pas(113): Not enough actual parameters

The DLL is as follows

Code:

Library collexconv;

uses
  ShareMem,
  SysUtils,
  Classes;

{$R *.res}

Function ExtNum (S: String): String; stdcall;
begin
ExtVar := copy(S,8,4);
end;
Function CallDir (S: String): String; stdcall;
InOut := copy(S,13,3);
end;
Function Extline (S: String): String; stdcall;
Line := copy(S,12,3);
end;
Function DateOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
CallDate := copy(S,21,2);
end;
Function MonthOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
CallMonth := copy(S,24,2);
end;
Function YearOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
CallYear := copy(S,27,2);
end;
Function TimeOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
CallTime := copy(S,30,5);
end;
Function LenOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
CallDur := copy(S,36,8);
end;
Function PhoneNum (S: String): String; stdcall;
Number := copy(s,60,27);
Number := StringReplace(Number, '.', '', [rfReplaceAll]);
end;
Function RingLen (S: String): String stdcall;
CallRing: = copy(S,89,5);
end;
Function AcctNum (S: String): String stdcall;
Account:= copy(S,106,16);
Account := StringReplace(Account, '.', '', [rfReplaceAll]);
end;

exports
ExtNum, CallDir, ExtLine, DateOfCall, MonthOfCall, YearOfCall, TimeOfCall,
LenOfcall, PhoneNum, RingLen, AcctNum;

end.

And the procedure I seem to be having a problem with:

Code:

procedure TMainForm.CdrButtonOKClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
Assignfile(CdrText, CdrImportEdit.Text);
Reset(CdrText);
while not EOF(CdrText) do begin
ReadLn (CdrText, Buffer1);
OutgoingSQLEdit.Lines.Add := ExtVar(buffer1);// This is where the problem is indicated.
end;
CloseFile(CdrText);
end;

WhaDaYaTink?

I'm a bit further ahead, but still getting stuck.

In My Dll Project I Have:

Code:

library collexconv;

uses
  ShareMem,
  SysUtils,
  Classes,
  StringConv in 'StringConv.pas';

  exports
ExtNum, CallDir, ExtLine, DateOfCall, MonthOfCall, YearOfCall, TimeOfCall,
LenOfcall, PhoneNum, RingLen, AcctNum;

{$R *.res}
Begin

end.

I have the following in the unit:

Code:

unit StringConv;

interface
uses
 SysUtils;

implementation
Var
ExtVar : string;
InOut : string;
Line : string;
CallDate : string;
CallMonth : string;
CallYear : string;
CallTime : string;
CallDur : string;
Number : string;
CallRing : string;
Account : string;

 Function ExtNum (S: String): String; stdcall;
begin
ExtVar := copy(S,8,4);
end;
Function CallDir (S: String): String; stdcall;
Begin
InOut := copy(S,13,3);
end;
Function Extline (S: String): String; stdcall;
Begin
Line := copy(S,12,3);
end;
Function DateOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
Begin
CallDate := copy(S,21,2);
end;
Function MonthOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
Begin
CallMonth := copy(S,24,2);
end;
Function YearOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
Begin
CallYear := copy(S,27,2);
end;
Function TimeOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
Begin
CallTime := copy(S,30,5);
end;
Function LenOfCall (S: String): String; stdcall;
Begin
CallDur := copy(S,36,8);
end;
Function PhoneNum (S: String): String; stdcall;
Begin
Number := copy(s,60,27);
Number := StringReplace(Number, '.', '', [rfReplaceAll]);
end;
Function RingLen (S: String): String stdcall;
Begin
CallRing := copy(S,89,5);
end;
Function AcctNum (S: String): String stdcall;
Begin
Account:= copy(S,106,16);
Account := StringReplace(Account, '.', '', [rfReplaceAll]);
end;
end.

I get the following error in the project:
[Error] StringConv.pas(53): Undeclared identifier: 'ExtNum'
What have I missed.

Finally got my head round it and it is all working. Next time I'll read the manual properly.
