<h1 class="topictitle1">User space alternative</h1>
<div><p>Although a receiver variable is usually used for returning information
from a retrieve API, sometimes a user space should be used instead.</p>
<div class="section"><p>If the number of bytes of information being returned
is not known or is large, a user space is preferred. You can create a user
space so that it can automatically extend up to 16MB of storage to accommodate
the information being retrieved.</p>
<p>The disadvantage of using a receiver
variable when it may be too small for the amount of data being returned is
that the API must be called again to receive the remaining data.</p>
