Well let's look at that "garbage".  The start of the target buffer
should be layed out (per the API documentation) as:

     DFMT0200          ds                  Based(BufPtr)
     D BytRtn                        10i 0
     D BytAvl                        10i 0
     D ContHdl                       20
     D OffToVar                      10i 0
     D NbrOfVars                     10i 0

Is BytRtn = BytAvl?  If so then we got everything; if not we should
allocate a larger target buffer.  If we add OffToVar to BufPtr we
should get to:

     DVarName          ds                  Based(VarNPtr)
     D EntryLen                      10i 0
     D NameLen                       10i 0
     D Name                         100

(Note that the 100 is just any number big enough to handle the possible
returned name(s))

Does Name look right? If we add VarNPtr + NameLen + 8 we should get to:

     DVarValue         ds                  Based(VarVPtr)
     D ValueLen                      10i 0
     D Value                        100

Does Value look right?  If so, then if we add EntryLen to VarNPtr we
should get to the next VarName DS.  Does that look right?  Are there
NbrOfVars instances of VarName?

I am assuming that somewhere in my "does that look right" list something
doesn't look right.  Can you indicate which part is "wrong"?

And yes, the API (-POST) has been successfully used and the
documentation can be improved on.
