Re: Longer Character Parameter

[Arturo <aduarte_jr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Thanks guys! Much appreciate your response.


   Your suggestion worked! I'm fairly new to the pointer world, as I
   haven�really had to use.  I will create my own procedure and not
   modify HTTPAPI. Again, great suggestion!


   Having another pointer issue. I want to get the value from the pointer
   postPtr from the following call: WEBFORM_postData(form :postPtr
   :postDataSize ) but get error RNX0115 when I do the following:


   p_PostData = postPtr;

   wXML = 'Value of uri: ' + xml_Data;


   The definitions are:

        D p_PostData      S               *

        D xml_Data          S               A   Len(500000) Varying

        D
   Based(p_PostData)


   What am I doing wrong, that I am getting the RNX0115 error? When I
   debug, and hit F11 on xml_Data, I see actual data in the field, which
   is why this error is confusing me.


   Thank you!

   Scott,
   In V6R1, IBM added %ADDR(myvar:*DATA) so it's no longer needed to add 2
   or 4.  And since V6R1 is required for variables larger than 65535,
   there's really no need to still use this old VARPREF method. (Unless
   you
   still want to support V5R4, which, granted -- I do at this point.)
   As I said to Arturo, it'd be better to NOT modify HTTPAPI, since
   that'll
   make upgrades more difficult.  Since this is just a one-liner
   subprocedure, I would suggest he create his own wrapper for
   http_url_encoder_addvar() if he needs to do this frequently. That way,
   his copy of HTTPAPI will remain compatible with everyone else's, and
   won't break when he upgrades (or require changes with each upgrade),
   etc.
   At least in this case, it's pretty easy to do.
