RE: Question about parm size

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

your1900var is defined as 1900A?

Seems like a RPG issue if %len(%trimr(your1900var)) is returning more than 1900.

I would break those out into their own statements to see what is going on
myTrimmedVar = %trimr(your1900var);
myLength = %len(myTrimmedVar);

After you do that, you might be able to determine what is happening.
 
Another approach is to debug the form data after every WebForm_xxx procedure. Add something like:

debugWebForm = webform_getData(Form);

after each statement. Check debugWebForm after execution to see what it looks like.

define debugWebForm  to be 32767A   varying and see which procedure is adding the extra spaces (are they spaces or something like x'00'?).

If it were me...I'd start by changing your1900var to varying. That seems like an easy way to prevent garbage from that particular issue from occurring.

I received the reply below several weeks ago, and I thought it was working but I just found out that  the data I'm sending in "your1900var" is being padded with spaces to 4100 bytes.  What I'm passing is fixed 1900 but the data may actually be much shorter so I want to trim all blanks off the right.  Any idea what's going on?

Here's my code:
WEBFORM_SetPtr(Form
	: 'message'
	: %addr(your1900var)  
            :%len(%trimr(your1900var)));            

I also have several WEBFORM_SetVar statements above this one.  Could that be an issue?  Do they all need to be WEBFORM_SetPtr?

Thanks

Hi Teri,

You can use WEBFORM_setPtr() for this task.  This routine allows you to specify up to 16 mb of data in a web form variable.  It uses pointers in order to remove the limitations in size that the other routines might have -- so it's a little trickier to call, but it will do what you want.

     WEBFORM_setVar( myForm
                   : 'webVarName'
                   : %addr(your1900var)
                   : %len(%trimr(your1900var)));

If your variable is VARYING, then change %ADDR() to
%ADDR(yourvar:*data)  (or %addr(yourvar)+2 if on V5r4 or earlier).

Good luck!
