Re: Decrypt with QC3DECDT

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well there are probably circumstances where 16 bytes may well expand to more than 50. Assuming that normal compression techniques are in play then (say) 60 blanks if included in the encrypted string would probably compress down to 3 or 4 bytes.

Why not make the field bigger and see what you get?

Sometimes (6 out of 2381 records ) I am getting CPF9DD6 which is "Length of area provided for output data is too small.". I have my clear data output length set to 50 which should be plenty big, as the first one I am getting an error on is only 16 characters encrypted. Can anyone help?
