xml.CryptoKey.getSize

Returns the size of the key in bits.

Syntax

getSize()
  RETURNS INTEGER

Usage

For a Diffie-Hellman key, it returns the size of the key; the size of a Diffie-Hellman key is actually the size of the modulus. If the modulus is not available (null or equal to zero), the method returns zero. In this situation, a return of zero does NOT mean the key is corrupt or unusable.

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the STATUS variable. Depending on the error, a human-readable description of the problem is available in the SQLCA.SQLERRM register. See Error handling in GWS calls (STATUS).
