RE: API prototypes in /COPY member -- RPG400-L

Because programming is lot of copying too Paul!

(I won't use speed of execution as to defend myself :))

Kind regards,
Geert

Geert,

Why

C                         Movel(P)      Field1    Field2

C                   Z-Add     272           Er_BytesPr


and not

C                       Eval    Field2 = Field1

C                       Eval      Er_BytesPr = %Size(Error)

Kind regards,
Paul

Peter,

When using the Error ds when calling a system api (f.e qusrobjd)
you first have to specify the length of your ds in field Er_BytesPr
as in the following example:

*************************************************
** Error Datastructure
*************************************************
D Error           DS
D Er_BytesPr              1      4B 0
D Er_BytesAv              5      8B 0
D Er_MsgID                9     15
D Er_Reserv              16     16
D Er_MsgDta              17    272
*************************************************

C* Object exists in Production?
C                   Movel(p)  Obj_Nam       ObjNameSel
C                   Movel(p)  Obj_Typ       ObjTyp
C                   Movel(p)  ProdLib       ObjLibSel

C* Length of error data structure
C                   Z-Add     272           Er_BytesPr

C                   Call      'QUSROBJD'
C                   Parm                    Rcv_Obj
C                   Parm                    Rcv_Len
C                   Parm      'OBJD0200'    Rcv_Fmt
C                   Parm                    ObjSel
C                   Parm                    ObjTyp
C                   Parm                    Error

C* Verifying Bytes Available
C                   Select
C* Object not found
C                   When      Er_BytesAv > 0 and
C                             (Er_MsgID = 'CPF9801' or Er_MsgID='CPF9811')
C                   Movel(p)  #NO           P_Pexist
C                   Movel(p)  #YES          P_Check
C                   When      Er_BytesAv > 0
C                   Movel(p)  '?'           P_Pexist
C                   Other
C                   Movel(p)  #YES          P_Pexist
C                   Endsl

 writing at the moment)

This is what confuses me: it looks as if there are different lengths
possible, because I assume that both data structures are valid.

Is there an explanation for this?

Peter,

For the error code description have look at page 2-8 in System Api
Concepts:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/books/c4158000.pdf

I'm always using this data structure in a /COPY member:

*************************************************
** Error Datastructure
*************************************************
D Error           DS
D Er_BytesPr              1      4B 0
D Er_BytesAv              5      8B 0
D Er_MsgID                9     15
D Er_Reserv              16     16
D Er_MsgDta              17    272
*************************************************

kind regards,
