"The &LENGTH parameter in this program is defined as *DEC but the API is expecting *INT. The statement DCL VAR(&LENGTH) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(4) VALUE(50) is creating &LENGTH with a value of x'0000050F' which the API is interpreting as 1295 - just a bit longer than the 50 bytes you are really passing. On V5R3 you could change to DCL VAR(&LENGTH) TYPE(*INT) VALUE(50) which would give you x'00000032' (a length of 50). Alternatively you could DCL VAR(&LENGTH) TYPE (*CHAR) LEN(4) VALUE(x'00000032') Your API call may have appeared to be working OK on prior releases, but you were inadvertently corrupting storage which may have caused other application functions to work "strangely"." Thank you Bruce for pin-pointing the error and for your advise on this issue. This is oficially the first API I work with and they are tricky when you do not know them too much :o) Thanks again!
