Hi.
In my experience, I never use the binary field, as IBM recomend. Instead I use int() 3,5,10,20
[cid:image001.jpg@01D8473B.2EC562C0]
Change prototipe and procedure to use (int 3, 5, 10, 20)
Compile new PCML, créate svrpgm with new module and in java use the new pcml.

Hope this help you.

Asunto: Passing an as400structure in a ServiceProgramCall

Tried and failed at this last fall but I am making another stab at it.
I am calling a DCM API from Java
("/QSYS.LIB/QICSS.LIB/QYCDRNWC.SRVPGM") The format is RNW0300. The part
that I am struggling with is that one of the parameters is a structure.
Like so (from docs):

Required Parameter Group:
1 Certificate request data Input Char(*)

2 Length of certificate request data Input Binary(4)

3 Format name Input Char(8)

4 Error Code I/O Char(*)

That first parameter is a structure (Format RNW0300). It looks like this:

Offset
Dec Hex Type Field
0 0 Binary (4) Offset to certificate path and file name
4 4 Binary (4) Length of certificate path and file name
Char (*) Certificate path and file name

I coded it in Java like so:

AS400DataType[] format = {
// 0 0 Binary (4) Offset to certificate path and file name
new AS400Bin4(),
// 4 4 Binary (4) Length of certificate path and file name
new AS400Bin4(),
// Char (*) Certificate path and file name
new AS400Text(certificate_path.length())
};

AS400Structure rnw0300 = new AS400Structure(format);

Then I set the parameter like this:

// Set up the parms
ProgramParameter[] parameterList = new ProgramParameter[4];
// 1 Certificate request data Input Char(*) the structure for format RNW0300
parameterList[0] = new ProgramParameter(rnw0300.toBytes(new Object[] { 8, certificate_path.length(), certificate_path }));
// 2 Length of certificate request data Input Binary(4)
parameterList[1] = new ProgramParameter(new AS400Bin4().toBytes(rnw0300.getByteLength()));
// 3 Format name Input Char(8)
parameterList[2] = new ProgramParameter(new AS400Text(8).toBytes(apiFormat));
// 4 Error Code I/O Char(*)
ErrorCodeParameter ec = new ErrorCodeParameter(true, true);
parameterList[3] = ec;

When calling the service program I get this error returned:

AS400Message (ID: CPF9872 text: Program or service program QYCDRNWC in library QICSS ended. Reason code 2.):com.ibm.as400.access.AS400Message@b7566fbf

The message description says this:

Message ID . . . . . . . . . : CPF9872

Message file . . . . . . . . : QCPFMSG

Library . . . . . . . . . : QSYS



Message . . . . : Program or service program &1 in library &2 ended. Reason

code &3.

Cause . . . . . : The specified program or service program was ended due to

one of the following:

1 -- A pointer was used that is not available for use while running in the

current program state.

2 -- A pointer was used, either directly or as a basing pointer, that has

not been set to an address.


So it seems to indicate that a pointer isn't properly set. Not sure
which parameter it is complaining about but my guess is that it is the
structure reference.

Bit of a noob at this but it seems pretty simple. Do you see anything
that is radically wrong? I couldn't find a good example of passing a
AS400Structure as an input parameter....(perhaps my assumption that that
is the issue is wrong)
