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

Loyd,

Bytes Provided reflects the number of bytes you have allocated for the
return of error related information. A value of 0 indicates no allocation of
storage to receive error related information (as you mention later
exceptions are to be sent). A value of 8 or more indicates that you have
allocated that number of bytes to receive error related information (though
the first 4 of those bytes is not really used to return error information as
it's basically accounting for the Bytes Provided storage).

If you set Bytes Provided to greater than 0 then it would normally reflect
the size of the entire error structure you have allocated. This value
includes the storage for Bytes Provided and Bytes Available (the minimum
amount of storage -- 8 bytes -- required if you want error related
information returned in the error code structure).

Do not interpret Bytes Provided as "Length of receiver variable" except when
greater than 0.

Re-reading Bruce's response, should the bytes provided by the size of the
entire error structure, as I've indicated, or the size of the "response
data", presumably including the exception ID, reserved space, and exception
data? I assumed it was the size of the structure, and have been wrong many
times before. :)
