Thanks for the reply..
I use

handle =OpenSCManager(NULL,NULL,SC_MANAGER_ENUMERATE_SERVICE);
err=GetLastError();
It returns a handle but gives error 997(ERROR_IO_PENDING)

if(handle){
ret= EnumServicesStatus(
handle, // handle to service control manager database
SERVICE_WIN32, // type of services to enumerate
SERVICE_ACTIVE, // state of services to enumerate
lpServices,
cbBufSize,
pcbBytesNeeded, // pointer to variable for bytes needed
lpServicesReturned,
// pointer to variable for number returned
lpResumeHandle // pointer to variable for next entry
);

Here it returns 0 and err code as 998 (ERR_NOACCESS)

Any idead where iam going wrong??

Who are you logged on as? Starting/Stopping/Querying Services usually needs PowerUser or Administrator access.

If you get a handle you don't need to check for an error. This is probably left over from some function which already dealt with the error. Hope that this helped! ;-)
