Re: error handling on API call

The first field in ERC0100_t is called Bytes_Provided in the documentation.  
It's an input to the API.  If you set it less than 8, the API sends escape 
messages for errors; if greater than 8, the API returns error info in the 
structure and sets Bytes_Available greater than zero.

I would code it like this:

 typedef struct {
     int Bytes_Provided;
     int Bytes_Available;
     char Exception_ID[7];
     char Reserved;
     char Exception_Data[240];
 } ERRC0100_t;

     ERRC0100_t errInfo;

     /* Verificar si existen las colas */

     memset(&errInfo, 0, sizeof(errInfo));
     errInfo.Bytes_Provided = sizeof(errInfo);

     memcpy(dtaq.lib, "QTEMP     ",
            sizeof(_TE_NAME_T));
     memcpy(dtaq.obj, "OUT_ABGQ  ",
            sizeof(_TE_NAME_T));
     memcpy(objType, "*DTAQ     ",
            sizeof(_TE_NAME_T));
     QUSROBJD(&objInfo, sizeof(objInfo),
              "OBJD0100", &dtaq,
              objType, &errInfo);

     if (errInfo.Bytes_Available > 0) {
       < do error processing >
     }
