Re: QMHSNDPM - Call stack entry parameter

Thank you all. I RTM and kind of suspected that the 10th parameter is
what I needed. Most api has the length either in the front portion of
the parm or as an additional param that is right before/after the
char(*) parameter. I just need some confirmation. :)

Hi Lim,

The required parameter list in your e-mail is difficult to read (you
must've put it in a proportional font, and added spaces to try to line

things up -- resulting in a mess when viewed properly with a

fixed-width

font). So I'll assume your required parameter list is the same as

IBM's...

In most case, that means that there should be another parameter that
caller must use to tell this api how long this Call Stack Entry
parameter is.

Yes, there *is* another parameter providing the length. It's

parameter

#10. Here's a link to the Information center:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/apis/QMHSNDP
M.htm

Note that parameter 10 is named "Length of call stack entry". It's an

optional parameter. If it's not passed, the manual says:

Note: The actual length of the call stack entry name cannot exceed
4096 characters. If this parameter is not used, the value

for

the call stack entry parameter is assumed to be 10

characters

in length.

So if you don't pass the optional parameter for the length of the call

stack entry, it assumes the length to be 10 -- that's why you see so
many examples where 10 is shown in the prototype.

The manual is your friend :)
