Re: The QSYGETPH API

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

If you are calling QSYGETPH, and are not passing it a special value for the
password, then parameters 5 & 6 are no longer optional.  The changing it to
* means that it is a string of undetermined length and it needs parameter 5
to know the length.

This was just from my general understanding of api's and not my familiarity
with this particular one (I have none).

We upgraded to V5R3M0 over the weekend and are dealing with a little bit of
fallout  ;-)

The memo to users said that the QSYGETPH API had changed, and indeed it
did,
the most important change was that now "Length of password and CCSID of
password are required " where it was only the password before.  The current
API is documented as":

1         User ID         Input         Char(10)
2         Password         Input         Char(*)
3         Profile handle         Output         Char(12)

where before it was:

1         User ID         Input         Char(10)
2         Password         Input         Char(10)
3         Profile handle         Output         Char(12)

I don't see however any documentation on what the char(*) looks like.

I need to change the CL that accesses this API to reflect the
change.  Where
do I find out more on how to change it?
