Firstly, it doesn't appear that QRZRRSI can retrieve the processor feature 
code because it is not listed as one of the data keys.  You should probably be 
using one of the software product APIs.

Secondly, the request criteria structure does not look correct.  It looks like 
&FCINFO contains character data when most of it is supposed to be binary 
numbers.  

Thirdly, since the length of &FCINFO is 64 bytes I assume you are requesting 
information for a single data key:
        32-bytes for resource name
        16-bytes for handle
         4-bytes for search request
         4-bytes for key offset
         4-bytes for number of keys
         4-bytes for the key itself
        --------
        64-bytes total

however the values displayed in the dump don't fit the layout.  You have the 
resource name as 'CEC01                    0000000' which means the handle is 
'0000000000001005' and that is the field I think it is complaining about.

It appears from the contents of &FCINFO that you want 16 zeros for the handle, 
0001 for number of keys, 0057 for offset to first key, and 0150 as the number 
of keys, followed by blanks where the key value should be.  The first key must 
be in offset 60, you only have room for 1 key, and blanks is not a valid key 
identifer.  You have specified these values as character but they should be 
binary numbers.

Assuming that you do still want to use the QRZRRSI API here is a CLLE example:
