<h1 class="topictitle1">Using offsets in a user space</h1>
<div><p>An offset indicates the point in a structure that specific information
should start. When offsets are correctly used, programs can extract specific
pieces of data from a structure and perform actions on that data.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Using offsets incorrectly can produce errors when coding in a
base 1 language such as RPG and COBOL. One way to determine the base of a
language is to determine how the first element of an array is specified. In
a base 0 language, the first element is number 0. In base 1 languages, the
first element is number 1.</p>
<p>The example programs in the following topics
are coded using RPG. RPG is a base 1 language. However, APIs produce information
using a base of 0. To compensate, the API user must add 1 to all decimal and
hexadecimal offsets to the formats.</p>
