RE: User Space

["Chevalier, Rick" <Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sudha,

Yes this can be done.  I have done implemented this technique using the
space pointer instead of the retrieve user space API.  

It would be something like this:  

D UserSpacePtr            *
D DataStructurePtr        *

D Dsname       ds            Based(DataStructurePtr)
D  dsfield1        
D  dsfield2
     .
     .
     .


        Create the user space here
        Set UserSpacePtr = User space pointer (QUSPTRUS API)

        DataStructurePtr = UserSpacePtr;

        // Populate the user space
        For counter = 1 to somenumber;
                Dsfield1 = somevalue1;
                Dsfield2 = somevalue2;
                .
                .
                .
        DataStructurePtr += %Size(Dsname);
        EndFor;

        // Retrieve the entries from the user space
        DataStructurePtr = UserSpacePtr;

        For counter = 1 to somenumber;
                Somevalue1 = dsfield1;
                Somevalue2 = dsfield2;
                .
                .
                .
        DataStructurePtr += %Size(Dsname);
        Endfor;

HTH,

Rick

Hi All,



I am trying to putting a data structure into an  User Space that I
create.  The way I have it is I place an data structure using a module
and retrieve the information back from user space in another module.  (I
later intend to use multiple occurrence DS.  Is this possible? Will the
pointer be contiguous?).  I seem to have problem with the data in the
data structure when I retrieve from the user space.  I see a few
information of data structure appearing on the retrieve module but not
the entire information.  I am not able to understand what is wrong.  Is
it something to do with the size or is this not the best way to use a
user space?  Have you tried to do this and if so how did you resolve the
problems encountered?



Thanks,

Sudha
