You are welcome.

Total size of message related to a SEL may be larger than specified 
MaxResponseDataSize (MaxResponseDataSize can't exceed 100 on my system 
or the call will fail).

The "data length" field in response contain length of complete message 
(not the part returned just now). If you received incomplete message 
(e.g. actual length is less than claimed data length) then you can call 
function again, with non-zero Offset field in request, to obtain the 
rest of message.

I didn't implemented repeated call so the text "incomplete" instead of it.
