RE: Question about QSYGETPH and long passwords

Thanks to all. The code I downloaded is sending the second parameter group.
But since the length is in binary I need to do this in RPG?

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

I'm trying to call QSYSGETPH from a CL. If I test with a password that is
10 characters or less, the code works.



If I try a long password, it fails with incorrect password.



Is there some special way to call that API in CL? The length parm is
correct.



We are using code from iseriestools.com. I just modified the CMD and CLP

to

use 128 character length for the password



CALL PGM(QSYGETPH) PARM(&USERID &PASSWORD &HANDLE
&ERRORCODE +

&PWDLEN &CCSID)



Thanks
