RE: Journal APIs

Populating those "key" structures is always fun.
First, never hard-code the length of the structure. Use something like
%size(JEQRY) or whatever.
Also you have a value of about 20 bytes represented in the structure, yet
you tell it that you're passing only 12 bytes.  Ain't gonna work.

Thanks for the prototype!

Whew... This is not an easy API to use! I am just trying to get the API to
return data from a journal, so that I can see it, and begin the process of
modifying my structures for receiving the data, etc. Unfortunately, I keep
getting the CPF694B error -- Length of variable record for key not valid.
This is the code I am using:

D GetEntries PR ExtProc('QjoRetrieveJournalEntries')
D szRtnBuffer 65535A OPTIONS(*VARSIZE)
D nBufLen 10I 0 Const
D JrnName 20A Const
D szAPIFmt 8A Const
D szJrnEntQry 32766A Const OPTIONS(*OMIT)
D api_Error 65535A Options(*Omit)

D QUSEC S 65535A Inz

D RtnBuffer S 65535A Inz
D BufLen S 10I 0 Inz(65535)
D JName S 20A Inz('LOGJRN HOSPLOG ')
D APIFmt S 8A Inz('RJNE0200')

D JEQry DS Qualified
D NumRecs 10I 0 Inz(1)
D RecLen 10I 0 Inz(12)
D KeyID 10I 0 Inz(6)
D DataLen 10I 0 Inz(4)
D Parm 10I 0 Inz(100)

/Free
*InLR=*On;

GetEntries(RtnBuffer:Buflen:JName:APIFmt:JEQry:qusec);
Return;
/End-Free

I want all entries from this journal, but If I omit the query parameter, the
receiver variable returns nothing. I know this journal has entries in it.
When I look in the error chunk (QUSEC), I keep seeing the CPF694B error. Any
help or hints would be greatly appreciated.
