Re: RSLVSP extended template definition help

[Stuart Rowe <rowestu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Forgive me for not looking it up in the manual at this moment.  I've found
that sometimes these things are very picky about the reserved space being
all nulls.  What you have is one null and some number of blanks.  Even if it
doesn't fix your problem, I think inz( *allx'00' ) will clear the whole
Reserved... elements with nulls.  Also in ASPToSearch, you end up with
x'0040', not x'0000' and even though it's not used due to search method
x'00', it couldn't hurt to inz it nicer. Again I am not looking at the
manual but that inz looks odd to me.

I think ReqAuth has to have inz(x'8000') (plus whatever authority you want)
to set the highest bit (use extended template). Or am I crosseyed?  It's
*after working hours* here.
