<p>The Retrieve Length of Field Data in Buffer (QsnRtvFldDtaLen) API determines
the number of bytes of field data returned after a Read Input Fields
(QsnReadInp) or Read Immediate (QsnReadImm) input operation. You can use the
Retrieve Pointer to Field Data (QsnRtvFldDta) API to retrieve a pointer to this
data so that you can parse the field values. Refer to the Read Input Fields
(QsnReadInp) API for a description of the format of the data returned.</p>
<p>To query the results from a Read Modified Fields (QsnReadMDT), Read Modified
Alternate (QsnReadMDTAlt), or Read Modified Immediate Alternate
(QsnReadMDTImmAlt) operation, use the Retrieve Number of Fields Read
(QsnRtvFldCnt) and Retrieve Field Information (QsnRtvFldInf) APIs. To query the
result from any other input operation, use the Retrieve Length of Data in Input
Buffer (QsnRtvDtaLen) and Retrieve Pointer to Data in Input Buffer (QsnRtvDta)
APIs.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None</p>
<br>
<h3>Required Parameter</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Input buffer handle</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>A handle for the input buffer that contains the results of the input
operation. The input buffer must be filled as a result of a QsnReadInp or
QsnReadImm operation.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Omissible Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Length of field data</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>The variable that contains the field data length when the QsnRtvFldDtaLen
API has completed. The field data length is 3 bytes less than the value
returned by the QsnRtvDtaLen API. (The cursor and AID-key values account for
the first 3 bytes of the input data returned).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Error code</strong></dt>
<dd>I/O; CHAR(*)
<p>The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the
structure, see <a href="../apiref/error.htm#hdrerrcod">Error Code Parameter</a>. If this
parameter is omitted, diagnostic and escape messages are issued to the
application.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Returned Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Length of field data</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>This API returns the value for the length of field data parameter, or -1
otherwise.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
