Where the result of proactive command GETINPUT get stored?

Question

Hi to all
i am writing one sim toolkit applet for an application.
i am asking user for input (input must be digits only)using GETINPUT proactive command.
Now i want to store user response,but while storing the response
i am getting random value.
I am doing like this;
//this is function to ask user for input
private byte []getInput(byte []input)
     ProactiveHandler proHdlr = ProactiveHandler.getTheHandler();          
     proHdlr.initGetInput((byte)0x00, DCS_8_BIT_DATA, input,(byte)0x00,
(short)input.length,(short)0x0001,(short)buffer.length);
proHdlr.send();
return buffer;
//call to fuction is like this
buffer = getInput(amount);
i am displaying value of buffer as amount.is it so?
or How can i get the value of amount?
Thankx in advance.
Warm Regards
Divyesh.

The buffer where the result will be stored is not passed as an argument to the initGetInput.
after you call the proHdlr.send(), the STK Framework will prepare an instance of the Object ProactiveResponseHandler. So you have to get a reference to this instance by doing :
ProactiveResponseHandler prh = ProactiveResponseHandler.getTheHandler();and use it to manipulate the data enterd by the user :
prh.getTextStringLength() : returns the length of the input (number of characters, or bytes)
prh.copyTextString(MyBuffer, MuOffset ); : will copy the entered data to a buffer (MyBufer) at a specified Offset.
after this, you can process the data stored in MyBuffer.
in a nutshell, the first "location" where the entered user data is stored is system internal, but you can copy it by the copyTextString method.
