Re: Base64 Decoding Invalid Character Error

I’m not near my laptop but 65536 sounds tooo much like exceeding a 65535
defined variable to me.

I have a customer using Scotts Base64 decoding stuff and I told him I'd

ask

his question for him.

He's getting the following error decoding data that is pretty big:

CPF9897 Escape 40 12/09/22 16:07:30.792369 BASE64R4 MGFOBJ *STMT TM008
MPLIB *STMT

Message . . . . : Unable to decode character at position 65536.

(Char=x'40')

Cause . . . . . : No additional online help information is available.

I thought at first it was because the field was over 65535. But then I

saw

the character in question is a space (x'40)?

The field is defined as 500000 char ccsid(1208).

Is there a limit on this base64_decode function? It uses pointers and I
can't find anything else in there that is defined as 65335 bytes.
