Re: Question about QSYGETPH and long passwords

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jack,

The API documentation has this:

*Length of password*
   INPUT; BINARY(4)

   The length, in bytes, of the password contained in the user profile
   password parameter. If optional parameter group 2 is not specified,
   a default of 10 is used.

You'll need to use the "optional" parameters if the password is greater 
than 10 chars
