RE: PCML Structure length

Just a thought if you don't get PCML to work....

You could wrap the call to QYCDRNWC in an RPG program if you can't get it to work and then simplify your parms perhaps.

subject: PCML Structure length

Working with a PCML call that I *almost* have working....the issue seems to be that one of the parameters is the length of the structure which I am not sure how to calculate/get.? The API being called is:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=ssw_ibm_i_74/apis/qycdrnwc.htm
(yeah, been working on this for a while).? The PCML file I created is:

<pcml version="2.0">

<!-- PCML source for calling "Renew Certificate" (QYCDRNWC) API -->
     
 ? <!-- Format RNWC0300 - Other formats are available -->  ? <struct name="rnwc0300">  ??? <data name="offsettofile"?????????????? type="int"??? length="4"? usage="input"/>  ??? <data name="lengthoffilename"?????????? type="int"??? length="4"? usage="input"/>  ??? <data name="certfile"?????????????????? type="char"?? length="lengthoffilename" usage="input"/>  ? </struct>

 ? <!-- Program QYCDRNWC and its parameter list for retrieving RNWC03000 format -->  ? <program name="qycdrnwc" path="/QSYS.LIB/QICSS.LIB/QYCDRNWC.SRVPGM" entrypoint="QycdRenewCertificate">
 ??? <data name="certreqdata"????? type="struct"?? struct="rnwc0300"?? usage="input"/>  ??? <data name="reqdataLength"??? type="int"????? length="4"????????? usage="input" />  ??? <data name="format"?????????? type="char"???? length="8"????????? usage="input"??? init="RNWC0300"/>  ??? <data name="errorCode"??????? type="int"????? length="4"????????? usage="input"??? init="0"/>  ? </program>

</pcml>

The relevant code (Java) is this:

 ??????????? pcml.setValue("qycdrnwc.certreqdata.offsettofile",8);
 ??????????? pcml.setValue("qycdrnwc.certreqdata.lengthoffilename",pathlen);
 ??????????? pcml.setValue("qycdrnwc.certreqdata.certfile",certificate_path);
             
 ??????????? pcml.setValue("qycdrnwc.reqdataLength",[how to I get this value??]);

So the structure is constructed using the setValue methods for each element of the structure.? But, I also need the length of the qycdrnwc.certreqdata structure to pass as the second parameter.? I was hoping that there was a PCML method called getLength(variable)...no joy.

How do I get the length of that structure?
