Paremeter Length errors.

["McNeal, John" <john.mcneal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Java class calling a service program with several parameters.  I
keep getting this error on one of the parameters:

 

Message ID . . . . . . :   CPF3C1D       Severity . . . . . . . :   30

Message type . . . . . :   Escape

Date sent  . . . . . . :   04/12/17      Time sent  . . . . . . :   10:10:58

 

Message . . . . :   Length specified in parameter 5 not valid.

Cause . . . . . :   The length of 14 for parameter 5 is not valid.  Values
for

  this parameter must be greater than 0 and less than 7.

Recovery  . . . :   Correct the length and call the API again.

 

 

It is defined as 

            AS400Text pMsgPgm = new AS400Text(10, system);

 

            

            AS400Text pFunction  = new AS400Text(1, system);

            

      AS400Text pUserId  = new AS400Text(10, system);

      

      AS400Text pErrorFld  = new AS400Text(10, system);

      

      AS400Text pErrorId  = new AS400Text(7, system);

      

      AS400Text pRetCd  = new AS400Text(1, system);

 

String MsgPgm = "          "; 

      String Function = "E";

      String UserId = "MCNEALJO";

      String ErrorFld = "          ";

      String ErrorId = "XXXXXXX";

      String RetCd = " ";

 

            parms[0] = new ProgramParameter(pMsgPgm.toBytes(MsgPgm));

            

            parms[1] = new ProgramParameter(pFunction.toBytes(Function));

            

            parms[2] = new ProgramParameter(pUserId.toBytes(UserId));

            

            parms[3] = new ProgramParameter(pErrorFld.toBytes(ErrorFld));

            

            parms[4] = new ProgramParameter(pErrorId.toBytes(ErrorId));

            

            parms[5] = new ProgramParameter(pRetCd.toBytes(RetCd));

            

 

            ServiceProgramCall sPGMCall = null;

 

            System.out.println("About to create the program");

            sPGMCall =  new ServiceProgramCall(system,

 
"/QSYS.LIB/MCNEALJO.LIB/TESTSRVPGM.SRVPGM",parms);

            sPGMCall.setProcedureName("TESTSRVPGM"); 

            System.out.println(sPGMCall.run());

 

            AS400Message[] ml = sPGMCall.getMessageList();

 

            for (int i=0; i<ml.length; i++)

               System.out.println(ml[i].getID() + ": " + ml[i].getText());

            }

            catch (Exception e){

                  System.out.println(e);

            }

 

Any idea why this message ?  I don't see a field that is 14 bytes long
anywhere.
