Re: iconv query

Your iiInpLen and iiOutLen fields should NOT be defined with 'const'. The API changes those fields to reflect the space left in each of the buffers as it translates the data.

I have a call to iconv in my program as follows:



D iconvU PR 10U 0 EXTPROC('iconv')
D iaHandle LIKE(ConvHandle) VALUE
D iaInpBuff *
D iiInpLen 10u 0 const
D iaOutBuff *
D iiOutLen 10u 0 const



wrkResult = iconvU(wrkHandle:wrkFrom:wrkFromDataLength:
wrkTo:wrkToDataLength);



When the call happens if there is not enough room in the output buffer then
the wrkResult has 0xFFFFFFFF in it. (-1)





And errorno is 3491 - Argument list too long.



The thing is the conversion has worked fine up to that point, I would be
expecting E2BIG?



Also I originally had the wrkResult coded as 10i 0, but this was causing the
dreaded receiver to small to hold result error.



Does anybody have a any idea whats happening here?
