Re: retrieve user space api problem

If it is a stand alone field, define it as either binary(9) or Integer(10).
If it is in a data structure, I've never had any problems with binary(4).
Be sure that it is in the correct position in the data structure. Also, be
aware that the documentation for the API's assumes a starting position as
zero. You need to add one to the starting positions in your DS for RPG.

Thanks,

Mark

hi,

i have problems retrieving binary(4) data from user space. the char data
is ok. but i have problems getting binary(4) fields like

124          7C          BINARY(4)         Offset to list data section

if i use the display command in my rpg program i get:

DSPLY  b

i tried to convert it to a number with:

listPosition = %dec(%trim(listValue) : 10 : 0);

but i get an error with errorcode 105 (which seems to be undocumented or
at least i can't find the docu of that status) when i look at the status
field of the program error data structure.

i think i make some terribly simple mistake but i don't get it. perhaps
someone can help me.

thanx in advance.

mk
