Re: RSLVSP extended template definition help

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.

I am trying to use the RSLVSP MI instruction to check object existence from
a procedure at run time. If the object exists everything is fine. If the
object doesn't exist I get a MCH error. If I understand the documentation
correctly I can set a value in the extended template under the options
section to not return the MCH error and just return a null pointer instead.

When I try this I get MCH5601:
Message . . . . : Template value not valid for instruction.
Cause . . . . . : The location of the value is template with an offset
to
field in bytes X'FFDC', an offset in field in bits X'0001', a length of
field of 128, and an instruction operand number of 2. The reason code is
X'0000'. If the reason code is X'0000', a reason code may not be
available.

Running the value of x'FFDC' through a hex to decimal conversion I get
65,500 which is slightly larger than my field size of 128.

I have searched the RPG archives for an example of using the extended
template but didn't see one. Here is what I have based on my understanding
of the documentation.

d dsUsrIdxDesc ds Qualified
d TypeCode 1a Inz(x'0E')
d SubtypeCode 1a Inz(x'0A')
d ServicePgm 30a Inz('UT1025UI')
d ReqAuth 2a Inz(x'0001')
d TemplateVer 1a Inz(x'00')
d SearchMethod 1a Inz(x'00')
d Options 1a Inz(x'02')
d Reserved1 7a Inz(x'00')
d ASPToSearch 2a Inz(x'00')
d ASPOfContext 2a
d PtrToContext * ProcPtr
d Reserved2 64a Inz(x'00')

Any ideas what I'm missing?
