Re: CGI-programming.....

Yes, worst case is some of the message data gets cut off.

Ahah!  You're right... I've used that for so long, I
haven't looked back.  I must have misinterpreted it...

Worst case scenario, some of the message gets cut off I
would assume.

Also, don't click that link if you're using Mozilla... IBM
sites really know how to hose it up good.  :)

Brad, INZ(40) for eBytesP is incorrect.
inz(%size(WPError)) is always correct.

Bytes provided is not the number of bytes provided for
exception data.  It is the size of the entire data
structure, which, in WPerorr's case, is 56.

For details, see IBM's documentation (especially the
"Example: receiving the error code with the exception
data"), at

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/ic2924/index.htm?info/apis/api.htm

According to the Information Center, the QtmhGetEnv API's
interface did not change from V5R2 to V5R3.  I don't
believe it has changed since it was introduced around
V3R2 (CISC) and V3R6 or V3R7 (RISC).

Here's what I use for error parms on every API I call..
never done me wrong.  I have it in some of my software

that

is running on V5R3 and so far things look good:

   D WPError         DS
   D  EBytesP                1      4B 0 INZ(40)
   D  EBytesA                5      8B 0
   D  EMsgID                 9     15
   D  EReserverd            16     16
   D  EData                 17     56

Also, if you aren't following the thread on the RPG list

(I

didn't see that you had moved it here) you may want to
consider checking out my eRPG Software Development Kit.

It

really makes all of this a lot easier, and like CGIDEV2
takes advantage of templates.

It's has a lighter footprint and testing shows it also
executes faster than CGIDEV2... right now it's in beta
testing and so far the users love it. A couple are
switching over from CGIDEV2 to use it..
