A while back I had a question about this recently I can across a good
example of how to use this api
So here it is
Any message that is not sent as an *ESCAPE, *STATUS, or *NOTIFY message
can be sent as an impromptu message, Russell. Here's a short program you
can play with. The display file is the JKL001D file from the March 29,
2002, "Odds and Ends" column.

Notice the SFLPGMQ keywords in both the subfile and subfile control
formats. I attached the field name PGMNAM to both of them. (This is a
habit from my RPG III days, when the maximum allowable length of
variable names was six characters.) This variable gets its value from
the program status data structure of the RPG program.
Here's the RPG source code. I compiled it with Create Bound RPG Program
(CRTBNDRPG) command to run in the default activation group. I only
included one test for an error--in a production environment, there would
be more, of course.

Using *PGMBDY is the correct way to do what you want. *CTLBDY appears to
give the same behaviour in this case but may not always do that when you
start messing with activation groups.
I'll bet you are calling this from within PDM. PDM receives the *ESCAPE
message and converts it to *INFO (UIM panels often do the same). Call it
from QCMD or from another program and I think you'll get the effect you
desire.

I am calling API QSYRUSRI to get the user profile Home Directory, but
the structure that the info comes back into has the directory name
formatted as CCSID 1200.
I am looking at various API's but am wondering what the consensus seems
to be regarding the best way to translate this data back into human
readable form.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If you have the RPG xTools, you can use the xLateCCSID subprocedure to
"just do it". If not, you can call a number of different APIs to do the
conversion for you. The one xlateCCSID uses under the covers is iconv().

I don't think I have any open source that uses iconv() in RPG IV, but
here's
a link to a C example... RPG IV isn't really all that much different
today.
http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/glibc/libc_101.html
To use the xTools, do this:
Callp xLateCCSID(szHomeDir : szOutDir : %size(szHomeDir) : 1200 : 0)
This would convert the text from CCSID 1200 in szHOMEDIR to the CCSID of
your job and copy that converted text in to the szOUTDIR field.

Joseph,
if you use CODE or WDSCi, the comments will be in a different colour and
easily recognised.
Plus you get all the other advantages these products have to offer.
If you have the compilers, you will also have (or can ask your BP for)
the
client tools.

User space: Takes longer to create, takes longer to do read/write access
until the optimizer kicks in and speeds things up for you. Auto-extend
is
very quick.
%alloc space: Allocates very quickly, access is very quick unless your
system is hurting for physical RAM. %realloc causes a whole new
allocation
to be created, the data from the original allocation gets copied to the
new one, and the original is deallocated. This copy can end up slowing
you down -- the user space technique is faster if you have to
re-allocate
frequently, since auto-extend does not involve copying your data.
A third alternative is to allocate memory in teraspace. This will be
slightly slower than both of the other alternatives, but has the
advantage
that you're not limited to 16mb.

Space allocated with %alloc() / %realloc() / teraspace is automatically
deallocated when the activation group ends. Since all activation groups
are destroyed when your job ends, allocated memory never persists past
the
job end.
User spaces can also be forced to be cleaned up when the job ends simply
by creating them in QTEMP.
Another consideration is what happens when your program is called
recursively. With a user space, you'd need to make sure that each
incarnation of your program used a different user space name, or you'll
have problems. That won't be a problem if you use %alloc / teraspace.
If performance is your primary consideration, I'd suggest trying each
method and benchmarking them. The coding difference is relatively minor,
especially if you wrap them up in subprocedures.

Allocated memory will also automatically go away when the job ends (or
when the activation group ends, if that's sooner.)
