Re: [Bulk] qsygetgroups() anyone use this API to retreive a list of Supplemental Group Profiles?

Steve:

I think the quick and easy way to get a list of supplemental groups is to CALL a small CL program (or CLLE module), e.g.:

PGM PARM(&GRPPRF &SUPGRPPRF)
DCL &GRPPRF *CHAR 10 /* primary group profile */
DCL &SUPGRPPRF *CHAR 150 /* supplemental group profiles */

RTVUSRPRF USRPRF(*CURRENT) GRPPRF(&GRPPRF) SUPGRPPRF(&SUPGRPPRF)

RETURN
ENDPGM

I need a list of supplemental group IDs associated with the active user profile within a job.

I researched and found API qsygetgroups() that seems to promise the results I'm after. The deal is that the expected list of Supplemental Groups is not coming to bear.

Has anyone used this (or another) method to retrieve the supplemental group profiles associated with a user profile?

The needed snippets of code I'm using is below:

D REPLY S 10I 0
D grouplist S 10U 0 DIM(1000)

D qsygetgroups PR 10I 0 extproc('qsygetgroups')
D gidsize 10I 0 value
D grouplist 10U 0 dim(32767)
D options(*varsize)

eval ListSize = %elem(grouplist);

Eval reply = qsygetgroups(ListSize
:grouplist);

Eval reply = qsygetgroups(0
:grouplist);

eval ListSize = 20;

Eval reply = qsygetgroups(ListSize
:grouplist);

Results:

First example:
Reply = 1,
ListSize = 1000,
GroupList =
GROUPLIST(1) = 222
GROUPLIST(2) = 0
GROUPLIST(3) = 0
GROUPLIST(4) = 0
GROUPLIST(5) = 0
GROUPLIST(6) = 0
GROUPLIST(7) = 0
GROUPLIST(8) = 0
GROUPLIST(9) = 0
GROUPLIST(10) = 0
GROUPLIST(11) = 0
GROUPLIST(12) = 0
GROUPLIST(13) = 0

Second example:
Reply = 1,
ListSize = N/A,
GroupList =
GROUPLIST(1) = 222
GROUPLIST(2) = 0
GROUPLIST(3) = 0
GROUPLIST(4) = 0
GROUPLIST(5) = 0
GROUPLIST(6) = 0
GROUPLIST(7) = 0
GROUPLIST(8) = 0
GROUPLIST(9) = 0
GROUPLIST(10) = 0
GROUPLIST(11) = 0
GROUPLIST(12) = 0
GROUPLIST(13) = 0

Third example:
Reply = 1,
ListSize = 20,
GroupList =
GROUPLIST(1) = 222
GROUPLIST(2) = 0
GROUPLIST(3) = 0
GROUPLIST(4) = 0
GROUPLIST(5) = 0
GROUPLIST(6) = 0
GROUPLIST(7) = 0
GROUPLIST(8) = 0
GROUPLIST(9) = 0
GROUPLIST(10) = 0
GROUPLIST(11) = 0
GROUPLIST(12) = 0
GROUPLIST(13) = 0

Same result each time.
