Re: CEEDOD problem

Dennis,

We had a similar problem crop up in December after loading one of the more 
recent 
RPG PTFs.  We ended up backing that PTF off of our system.  I have included a 
list 
of the PTFs we have loaded.  What were getting was the maximum length of the 
parameter.  
Hans posted a reply that they were aware of this problem and working on a PTF.  
I am 
not sure if it has been fixed at this point.

Hello all,

I am writing some service program to isolate other programmer of some 
complexities. To make my programs as flexible as possible, I am using 
parameters of variable size and then I use the operator descriptor to find out 
the actual length. 

Here is an example that works

p SndKDtaQ       b                 export
d                         pi                opdesc
d QName                       10a  const
d QData                     1000a  const options(*varsize)
...
In this case, the CEEDOD API returns the actual lenght of the second parameters.

Here is my problem

p RcvKDtaQ      b                  export
d                        pi                  opdesc
d QName                        10a  const
d QData                      1000a  options(*varsize)
...
In this case, I get an error at run time (CEE0502). It seems I can not retreive 
the operator descriptor of a parameter with the option(*varsize) that does not 
have the const option.

Is this normal? Maybe I am doing something wrong. Any suggestion?
