Set user buffer to longstring value

Note: Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is no OO equivalent for the $Lstr_Set_UserBuffer function.

This callable function sets the contents of the current user buffer to the longstring argument value. Such a user buffer is a Universal Buffer or an MQ/204 user buffer, both of which, as of Model 204 V6R1.0, may transfer Large Object (LOB) data. For Versions of Model 204 prior to 6.1, this function applies only to the MQ user buffer and requires the MQ/204 feature.

The $Lstr_Set_UserBuffer function accepts one argument and returns a numeric result: the length of the longstring argument.

Syntax

[%len =] $Lstr_Set_UserBuffer(longstring)

%len is the length in bytes of the user buffer contents, or it is -1 to indicate an error.
