Re: SQL System error in program

Hello Glenn,

In general MCHxxxx messages from IBM code are APARable.  Check the 'from' and 
'to' programs in 
the joblog for the MCH0601 message.  If they begin with a 'Q' talk to IBM.

(The few that aren't are those where user code may have caused the MCH 
exception like "Receiver 
too small to hold result" which is usually caused by a variable being too 
small.  You need to 
check the 'from' and 'to' program names to know who to blame.)

Without knowing what your 'Sandbox' environment is, here is my best guess at 
the problem:
What has happened is that code in the job processing the SQL statement has 
walked off the end 
of an internal space object.  In this case it looks like the Process Control 
Space (*PCS) for 
job 825041/JLCOONS/ZWKS2097S5, but I'm guessing that based on its name.

Since QSQOPEN is likely the 'to' program I'd guess its something to do with 
creating the ODP.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
