Re: QMHRMVPM Problem in Subprocedure

[Loyd Goodbar <loyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should set the "bytes provided" field in QUSEC prior to calling an API.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/apiref/pgmerr_errorco.htm

Here are the relevant comments:
 * Initialize the bytes provided field (QUSBNDB) of the error code
 * structure.  Languages such as RPG and CL tend to initialize the bytes
 * provided field to blanks, which when passed to an API is viewed as a
 * very large (and incorrect) binary value.  If you receive CPF3CF1 when
 * calling an API, the bytes provided field should be the first field
 * you examine as part of problem determination.

There were no errors returned.  I.e., qusei = *Blanks, and qusbavl = *Zeros.
