Re: Help needed with qsycusra API

You're missing an INZ

D szerrds ds INZ
D szerror 256
D szerrprov 10i 0 overlay(szerror)
D szerrret 10i 0 overlay(szerror: *next)
D szerrmsg 7 overlay(szerror: *next)
D szerrres 1 overlay(szerror: *next)
D szerrdata 240 overlay(szerror: *next)

without the INZ, the DS will be initialized to all spaces which means
szerrprov = x'40404040' = 1077952576 bytes...a bit big methinks!

Also, there's no need to assign a size to szerror, better to let the
compiler figure it out that way you won't have to remember to change
it if you add another subfield.. Personally (and per our company
standards) all DS should be qualified. Also you don't need to name
the reserved field...

So my version looks more like

D szerrds ds INZ
D error
D bytesProv 10i 0 overlay(error)
D bytesRtnd 10i 0 overlay(error: *next)
D messageID 7 overlay(error: *next)
D 1 overlay(error: *next)
D data 240 overlay(error: *next)

Hi Marie,

I agree with the previous contributors, in that the error parameter can
be better defined.

I have copied the relevant bits of code here ...

         SzErrDs);

If there is an error, field szerrmsg wil contain the message id in the
form xxxnnnn, which you can look up using WRKMSGF QCPFMSG.
Otherwise, szerrmsg wil be blank.

I am down in Lmerick and you can contact me directly if I can be of more
help.

Hi

I have the following code and the 'AuthIndicator' variable always comes
back as Y.
I have edited the Authority on the Object so that no-one has *CHANGE
authority and *PUBLIC is *EXCLUDE
I have tried using other User Profiles  and i have tried incrementing the
CallLevel variable.

I'm new to using APIs so not exactly sure why this isn't working as
expected. Our AS400 is on V5R4.

Here's my Code
