Re: Java 400 - QSYRUSRI API call

["Dave Wall" <dawall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The character 8 field is the date in an iSeries date-time stamp (*DTS)
format.  The iSeries has an API to convert it from this format to a more
industry-standard type format.  Toolbox needed to do this conversion so
often that we wrapped the API call in a class ...

    byte[] data = ...; // Some Char 8 *DTS date data from the system.
    DateTimeConverter conv = new DateTimeConverter(system_);  // system_ is
an AS400 object
    Date d = conv.convert(data, "*DTS");

If you use this class make sure you give it the raw bytes from the original
API call.  Don't convert them from EBCDIC to Unicode before giving them to
DateTimeConverter.

When calling QSYRUSRI in Java (format USRI0300) how are the dates
(specifically Password Change Date) retrieved. One example has this
field defined as Character 8, another example has as Byte 8. When I use
the metho getValue to a field of type Object, the field is displayed as
barbled.

Does anyone have an example of retrieving USRI0300 utilizing Java ????
