250 libraries. a solution?

["Steve Richter" <srichter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A possible solution to the 250 libraries crashes the v5r1 rtvjoba cmd problem:

 

The cpp of RtvJoba is QCLRTVJA.

 

The 21st parm of this pgm is the UsrLibl.

 

Based on the value that is passed in parm 21 of the cpp, it looks like RtvJoba is using Vary(*Yes) and PassAtr(*Yes) for the UsrLibl parm.

 

When I dup the RtvJoba cmd as TRtvJoba and write my own cpp, bytes 2 - 3 of parm 21 contain the lgth of the cl variable spcfd when the cmd is called.

 

The possible solution then is:

 

Write your own cpp for the RtvJoba cmd.

Change the cpp of the RtvJoba cmd to be your cpp.

This cpp will pass everything it receives onto the real cpp, QCLRTVJA, and then pass back what is returned to the RtvJoba cmd.

The one exception is parm 21.  A variable large enough for 250 libraries is passed onto QCLRTVJA. When passing the return value back to the caller, look at the vary lgth ( bytes 2 - 3 ).  Only pass back up to the lgth of this value.
