Re: QMHSNDPM - Call stack entry parameter

Notice that it says it is Char(*) or a pointer - there is more to learn from the actual documentation, where it is explained better. There is also a length parameter in optional parameter group 2, for certain ways of using this parameter.

I'm a bit confuse about the Call Stack Entry parameter in QMHSNDPM api
and hope somebody can help me with it. In ibm doc, this parameter is
declared as char(*). See below:

QMHSNDPM api Required Parameters Group:
1 Message identifier Input Char(7)

2 Qualified message file name Input
Char(20)
3 Message data or immediate text Input Char(*)
4 Length of message data or immediate text Input
Binary(4)
5 Message type Input Char(10)
6 Call stack entry Input Char(*)
or Pointer
7 Call stack counter Input
Binary(4)
8 Message key Output Char(4)
9 Error code I/O
Char(*)



In most case, that means that there should be another parameter that
caller must use to tell this api how long this Call Stack Entry
parameter is. But, I'm not seeing this paramter, am I missing
something? I google the web and most of the prototype I found has been
declaring this parameter as 10 A. Here is one example
