Re: Need an RPG pgm that returns Days Until Password Expires

That example, unfortunately, is wrong in so many ways... The one thing they
appear to have gotten right is
"IBM accepts *no *responsibility for its correctness".

Pop quiz to those of you familiar with system APIs. Can you find where four
bytes of storage are corrupted by this simple example? (I will admit that
due to current implementation of the RPG compiler this corruption will most
likely go undetected at run-time, but a compiler implementation change in
the future could toast any program using this example as a model for calling
sysem APIs -- corruption is corruption)

I have provided feedback to IBM on the example.

Looks like your getting the 1091222 part.

Does anybody have an example of the QSYRUSRI API that returns the Days

I have an RPG program that uses the API but get the following data back:
