Charles,
I pretty much always go with integer rather than unsigned. I figure it's
more likely that a number could be negative than bigger than an signed
integer.
Obviously in this case, the offsets would never be negative, but it's *
conceivable* that the CCSID might hold -1 meaning *JOB or *SYSTEM (as it
does in calls to some other API's).
If in doubt, I try to find the C definition and see what that says, since it
tends to be more accurate (or at least more documented).

All,
Just curious as to what guidelines you use when choosing between
signed or unsigned integer to replace the binary data type in API
calls.
