The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Yes.
or the size of the "response
data", presumably including the exception ID, reserved space, and
exception
data?
No, although that will seem to work. A properly written API will fill
only the amount of space you tell it about. In this case the bytes
provided would be less than the actual amount available and everything
will work but you'll get less substitution data than you might expect.
I assumed it was the size of the structure, and have been wrong many
times before. :)
You're not wrong but you don't need to assume. From the manual:
:quote.
Bytes provided. The number of bytes that the calling application
provides for the error code.
:equote.
It would be much clearer if the technical writer had included the word
structure after error code. If you care sufficiently you can open a
documentation APAR or send the (dis)Information Centre some feedback,
