How do you make a Binary variable in CL? 

I tried the length to match the variable and the actual number supposedly returned (231 characters and I get "Length of the receiver variable is not valid."  if I make it 9999 then I get the first 150 characters.

I am trying to use API Q1ARTVMED.  

 

It has 5 parameters

 

1 receiver variable

2 length of receiver

3 format name

4 control Value information

5 Error code.

 

for Error code it tells me to look in the System Programmers Interface Reference   Where on earth can you find this book? I looked in all the online books and could find nothing.  

 

also I don't know what to put in the length of receiver.

 

===> make Error code a BINARY(4) variable with value 0, then you tell that don't want to handle the error.

The length of the receiver is the number of bytes available in the receiver variable, so if the

receiver variable is CHAR(200), the length is 200.
