Re: Retrieve System Time Information (QWCRTVTM) API - Error code parameter length

It's the standard API error structure...
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_74/apiref/errorcodeformat.htm


Has to have at least Bytes Provided, if set to 0 then the API will throw an
exception.

dcl-ds errorCode qualified inz;
bytesProvided int(10) inz(0);
end-ds;

12 bytes and you get the error message ID
dcl-ds errorCode qualified inz;
bytesProvided int(10) inz(%size(errorCode));
bytesAvailable int(10);
errorId char(7);
end-ds;

more than 12, and you can get back the message description (don't forget
the reserved field at pos 13)
dcl-ds errorCode qualified inz;
bytesProvided int(10) inz(%size(errorCode));
bytesAvailable int(10);
errorId char(7);
*n char(1);
errorText char(80);
end-ds;
