Can you post the code that you are finding confusing.

Subject: User space examples using List APIs




I am looking for example code that shows how to process an API-created
list in a
user space.  The V4R2 ILE RPG Reference has an example program in
chapter 10
under a section titled "Basing Pointer Data Type"; the Softcopy
reference is
2.3.8.1.  This example program happens to show how to use the QUSLMBR
api, which
is exactly the one I was looking to use.  Unfortunately, it was (IMHO)
poorly
written, and did not compile due to a syntax error.  I was able to fix
that
error plus others so that the program compiled and runs, (correctly, I
think),
but I'm having a difficult time fully understanding how exactly list
processing
works.

In the particular example program, even though the initial size of the
user
space is 9,999,999 bytes, it would appear that the maximum length of the
usable
user space is 32,767 bytes (based on the D-spec for the SP1 variable).
But I
also see a reference to DIM(32767) for a 10-character array size that
seems to
reference the list in the user space.

Is there reference material out there that explains this stuff?  Does
anyone
have example code they could share?  I would also be interested in
example code
that shows how to process a user index.
