I'm trying to get either the QSYGETPH API or the QsyGetProfileHandle
API
to work and not having much luck. No matter what I send to them I get
back a null value. I've tried using CL and RPG but am having no real
luck. Does anyone have any examples from their own usage? I've
looked at
the security API manual but other than listing the parms, it's not much
help.
First: What error message is returned in the error code data structure?
Read the message and follow its recovery steps.
Second: What release of OS/400 are you using? On 530 IBM completely
stuffed the interface to the QSYGETPH API by requiring parameters that
were previously optional--but only if special values were not specified
for UID or PWD in which case the required parameters are not allowed to
be specified. They should just ignore them when inappropriate. I'm sure
someone had a reason for this behavioural change but I cannot fathom
it. It seems stupid to me.
On 440 and 450 the 5th and 6th parameters don't exist. On 510 and above
you can specify the actual length and the CCSID of the password if
using QPWDLVL of 2 or 3 but otherwise the 5th and 6th parameters are
optional and can be specified or omitted as you please. On 530 and
above you must NOT specify parameters 4 and 5 if UID is *CURRENT, but
you MUST specify them in all other cases.
So make sure you comply with the rules for your version of OS/400 and
check what error message is returned. If the error doesn't make sense
them provide the message details and example code of your call (and
prototype definitions) in your next append.

Simon Coulter.
