Duhh ... I see it now.

Please ignore.

Rich,

Can you post your prototype, the field definitions and call?

I've been using this API for years, but a situation has come up where I need to watch for errors happening in the API call when called from a CLLE program. I've reviewed the documentation at length. I'm pretty certain that I have the parameters right and the call to the API does go into a timed wait (10 seconds), but when I try to force an error (like starting the call when the data queue does not exist), there is no error code returned. The entire API error code field is blank and it loops back to try and read the data queue again.

Any suggestions where I can look. The idea of optional parameter groups is confusing. I've coded the optional group 1 along with optional group 2, but the settings in group 1 are all set to blanks and zeros.

When I tried just optional group 2, the OS did not like the number of parameters passed on the call to the API.
