And it looks like I am running into the same thing when a valid blanks is in the first position of the encrypted field.

argData is a varying length field - so trim should be done on loading - doing it on the call is asking for trouble. Not sure what the compressed string looks like - but for sure it could have a valid space at the end. Also you haven't shown the Pr for decryptDataAPI so I can't tell if that is having an effect. The parm is not a varying field that is for sure.

This is strange. When I encrypt the 6 character string, it returns the length as 16 for the encrypted length but when I turn around and try to decrypt it the program shows that the length of the encrypted string to be only 15. Maybe the %trimr on the %len(%Trimr(argData)) for the encrypted string is causing me the problem?

Looking at it again, the clear data length is set to 65535 and the original unencrypted field was only 6 bytes.

decryptData...
B EXPORT
decryptData...
PI 65535A
argData 65535A const varying
options(*varsize)
argInLen 10I 0

svOutData S 65535A

D svOutDataLen S 10I 0
D Len S 10I 0
D svBytes S 52A
/free
svOutData = *BLANKS;
len = %size(svOutData);
len = %len(%Trim(argData));
// API
decryptDataAPI(argData: %len(%Trimr(argData)):
QC3D0200: 'ALGD0200':
keyDesc: 'KEYD0200':
cryptoPro: cryptoDev:
svOutData: %size(svOutData): svOutDataLen:
stdError);

Well there are probably circumstances where 16 bytes may well expand to more than 50. Assuming that normal compression techniques are in play then (say) 60 blanks if included in the encrypted string would probably compress down to 3 or 4 bytes.

Why not make the field bigger and see what you get?

I am trying to use QC3DECDT to decrypt an encrypted field which was also encrypted with QC3DECDT. Sometimes (6 out of 2381 records ) I am getting CPF9DD6 which is "Length of area provided for output data is too small.". I have my clear data output length set to 50 which should be plenty big, as the first one I am getting an error on is only 16 characters encrypted. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Jon
