Printing bitmaps -- MIDRANGE-L

Good afternoon all,

 

I have seen quite a number of discussions around this subject, but have
what seems to be a 'new' problem!

 

We have a mobile data system which uses PDAs and GPRS; part of that
process is collecting signatures which are placed in the IFS as bitmaps.

 

I have an RPGLE program bound to the QIMGCVTI API which takes this file
in (declared as a stream file) and outputs it in AFPDS format to another
IFS file e.g.:

CALL PGM(CVTBMP) PARM('/cognito/images/67.bmp' '/cognito/images/afp67')

I think this is working OK (!) as the new stream file is created and has
data.

 

I have a PF created with:

CRTPF FILE(@MD123/SIGAFP)            

      RCDLEN(32766)                  

      TEXT('Signature in AFP format')

      LVLCHK(*NO)                    

 

And when I try to copy the stream file into this PF (the QIMGCVTI API
doesn't enable direct output to a PF) using:

CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('/cognito/images/afp67')                

           TOMBR('/qsys.lib/@md123.lib/sigafp.file/sigafp.mbr')

           MBROPT(*REPLACE)                                 

           CVTDTA(*NONE)                                    

           STMFCODPAG(37)                                   

           DBFCCSID(37)                                     

           ENDLINFMT(*FIXED)                                

           TABEXPN(*NO)                                     

It completes quite happily; however these parameters are the only ones
that do not result in a 'CPIA082 - End of file found before physical end
of file' which is a worry!

 

Carrying on regardless, when I now try to create the page segment with:

CRTPAGSEG PAGSEG(@MD123/SIGNATUR)

          FILE(@MD123/SIGAFP)    

          MBR(SIGAFP)            

It is not created and a diagnostic message (sev 30) is issued 'CPD88C0 -
SIGAFP in @MD123 not valid for creating a *PAGSEG' with a reason code 2.

 

Would anyone be able to help, please?

 

 

Regards,
