v cert_data_p points to the specific certificate data.
v cert_data_l contains the length of the data element.
2. Many fields are character strings and are terminated with a trailing null. The length does not include
the null.
3. Other fields (CERT_BODY_DER, CERT_DN_DER, and so on) may have imbedded nulls and therefore
must use the integer length for processing.
4. Not all certificates contain all fields, so the number of fields returned depends on the certificate being
processed. This open-ended approach means new fields can be added from time to time without
disrupting existing usage.
5. All certificate data is returned in ASCII CCSID 850.
6. You can reference the certDataElem pointers as long as the handle for the secure session or SSL
environment is open.
