That doesn't matter, though.  RPG will only move 15 of the 16 bytes, it
won't overwrite other memory...  and since the length he's passing in the
first parm of his APIERR is 15, the called program won't try to exceed 15
bytes anyway.

The actual problem is that he's passing 7 byte parameters where the API
requires 16.  The result will be overwriting 9 extra bytes of memory.
(See my last post for an explanation)
