Re: QSYGETPH change in V5R3M0

Pete:

I have an application that uses QSYGETPH in a CLP.  It continues to work 
at V5R3M0, but there are 2 things I have done:

1)      I am using it with *NOPWD as the second parm
2)      I have compiled this program to a prior release, e.g., 
TGTRLS(V5R1M0)

This may provide an interim plan until you get the answer you seek.

subject: The QSYGETPH API

We upgraded to V5R3M0 over the weekend and are dealing with a little bit 
of
fallout  ;-)

The memo to users said that the QSYGETPH API had changed, and indeed it 
did,
the most important change was that now "Length of password and CCSID of
password are required " where it was only the password before.  The 
current
API is documented as":

1                 User ID                 Input           Char(10)  
2                 Password                Input           Char(*)  
3                 Profile handle                  Output Char(12)  

where before it was:

1                 User ID                 Input           Char(10)  
2                 Password                Input           Char(10)  
3                 Profile handle                  Output Char(12)  

I don't see however any documentation on what the char(*) looks like.

I need to change the CL that accesses this API to reflect the change. 
Where
do I find out more on how to change it?
