But note that the API documentation is programming language neutral, and uses
generic terms which RPG programmers sometimes misinterpret.  The classic example
is coding a BINARY(4) field as 4B 0 in RPG which creates a 4 digit binary field
instead of a 4 byte binary field (ie, it should be coded as 10I 0).

Likewise, "offset" is sometimes misunderstood.  An offset is how many bytes you
skip over (or offset) into the structure to the start of the field.  For the
first field you don't skip over any bytes, so the offset is zero.  Hence offsets
are zero-based, whereas RPG data structures are one-based.

Thus an offset of 877 and a length of 15 equates to a RPG field positions 878
through 892.
