RE: %SIZE

Larry, is this that Vertex stuff again? <g>

Can you remind us the prototype you're using? We need to know how this field is being used (In, Out, In/Out). If the XmlResult is something YOU built, and are needing to pass into this Vertex api, are you using Options(*String) to append the x'00'. If not using Options(*String), but you are passing this IN to vertex, then make sure to add a x'00' character before you pass.

If Vertex holds true to their standards, I imagine they're expecting to find a null character somewhere before they get to your "ResultSize". Not seeing a null before they scanned "ResultSize" bytes, they error...

I tried it several ways but keep getting the same message. I've tried
%len(...) , %len(%trim(...)), %size() and changing value in debug.


Here are the notes that I have on the two fields in question.

XmlResult - The pointer to the character string buffer where the result
is stored.
This must be large enough to hold all the results.
Recommended minimum size is 128K.

Caution: Estimate carefully your buffer size. If the buffer
size is
inadequate to hold all the results, then the
system
copies over as much as it can hold. The
remainder of
the results are lost.

pResultSize - On input, the size of the XmlResult buffer.

Ensure that the XmlResult buffer is big enough to hold all the results
of your
query. If you perform a query which potentially could return a large
result set,
the XmlResult buffer should increase proportionately.

Thanks Tommy. I changed it %len() and I'm still getting the same
error.
It could be a different issue.

You should be using %LEN() not %SIZE(). %SIZE is determined at
compile time & %LEN() is determined at run-time. Since the result
size can differ on each call you'll get this type of thing.


Thanks,

I'm interfacing a RPGLE program with a 3rd party program written in C
but I'm having issues with one of the programs. I'm not sure if it's
an issue with the prototype or if the data that I'm passing in the is
incorrect. VPrtXML is called to perform several different functions
(Open Connection, Close Connection, Query, etc.). I'm able to get the

Open and Close function to work so I've almost eliminated a prototype
error. However, the Query function returns "UNKNOWN ERROR" no matter
what I try. The vendor says that the buffer size parameter
(pResultSize) must match the size of the return buffer (pXmlResult)
each time the program is called or it could cause "UNKNOWN ERROR".
Before each call I set pResultSize = %size(XmlResult);. Am I missing
something here?





D VprtXML PR EXTPROC('VprtXML')

D pConn * value

D pSession *

D pXmlBuffer * value options(*string)

D pXmlResult * value options(*string)

D pResultSize 10I 0 value



* VPrtXML parm definitions

*---------------------------

D pSession s *

D pXmlBuffer s *

D pXmlResult s *

D pResultSize s 10I 0



* Work Fields

*-------------

D Session s 100a

D xmlBuffer s 65500a inz(NULL)

D XmlResult s 65500a inz(NULL)

D NULL C CONST(x'00')



/free

............................

............................

.............................



pXmlResult = %addr(XmlResult);

pResultSize = %size(XmlResult);



VprtXML(pConnectionHandle: pSession: xmlBuffer:

pXmlResult: pResultSize);



Thanks,



Larry
