Re: Question about _Rreadn C function

["Elvis Budimlic" <ebudimlic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree on a lack of concise documentation in this area.

In fact, I didn't know about buf_length, probably because it's not
documented :), and accordingly have never used it.  If accurate, it ought to
perform better than the alternative I suggested.

I think you should consult IBM if you could rely on it in your case (PMR).
Or simply have them document it better.

Thanks Elvis,

Looks like it is also in _RFILE.buf_length.

I'll use that one, otherwise I have to figure out how to get/use the
feedback info. <grin>

I've got those two manuals open, but IMHO they are not organized real
well.  In fact, I did find a description of _RFILE and _RIOFB_T.  But
the description only cover a few of the subfields not all of them.  In
particular, _RFILE.buf_len is not mentioned.

Thanks again,
Charles
