Re: QSYRUSRI API

Once you've used QUSPTRUS you'll never use QUSRTVUS again, unless you just 
insist on using CL.

Re: QSYRUSRI API






Jim

I recommend using either DSPOBJD *ALL *USRPRF OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) or the 
QUSLOBJ API with format OBJL0100. The former may be easier at first, and 
the latter is much faster, since all you need is the object names. The API 

uses a user space, and this can be used in a CL without too much effort.

Then you can use the QSYRUSRI API in CL. If you've not done this, come 
back 
at me off line if you want. In short, it involves DCLing a variable that 
is 
long enough for the API format you want to use, then call the API, then 
use 
%BIN with start position and length, in this case, to get the number of 
days remaining.

To learn more, go to the Programming tab of InfoCenter (V5R2 is the one I 
looke at), then the APIs item, then the Concepts item, then the User space 

format for list APIs. You'll end up using the QUSRTVUS API in your CL, but 

that's a lot like %SST.
