Re: Help with retrieving error message data returned by API QSYCHGPW

Thank you David.

How can the first 4 bytes of the Data structure that are a binary value be
converted to a number ?
I am getting this error when i do the following :
A character representation of a numeric value is in error (C G D F).
RPG statement performed a conversion from character to numeric using data
that was in error.

d ErrorInfo 240A
d Bin4 S 10I 0 INZ
eval Bin4 = %Int(%SubSt(ErrorInfo:1:4))

ERRORINFO =
....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60
1 ' ■*MIXCASE1 '
61 ' '
121 ' '
181 ' '

Thank you for your response David & Mark.
But this is what I get after expanding. The 1st message data value should
have been 16. But is showing some strange character.

EVAL APIError
BYTESPROVIED OF APIERROR = 256
BYTESAVAIL OF APIERROR = 35
ERRORID OF APIERROR = 'CPF4AA7'
ERRORRSVD OF APIERROR = '0'
ERRORINFO OF APIERROR =
....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60
1 ' ■*MIXCASE1 '
61 ' '
121 ' '
181 ' '

Look at the message field data for CPF4AA7 ... the first 4 bytes are a
binary value that coresponds to the reason code. The next 15 bytes are the
rule

If you look at APIERROR.ERRORINFO in hex, you'll see the binary value.
