The example provided in the IBM manuals is flawed.

Michael:

I don't know what manual you're looking at, so not much can be said about that. However, try comparing against this IBM doc:

a. MOVE 'SFLCBL' TO PGMQ OF MSGSFLC-O. b. MOVE 'TESTPGM123' TO SCFIELD OF FMT1-O.

And I don't know what the DDS nor program code/structure looks like after you made changes (nor really what the original looked like), so I won't be much help there either.
