Why %subst() on error? Why isn't error a data structure?
Dunno. It's just a procedure wrapper so that it can be called by an RPGIII. The first guy to write a wrapper wrote it that way and the rest of us just copy without asking questions. Is there an advantage with a DS?

And why are you only pulling 6 bytes for what is a 10 byte value?
ErrorPgm = %SUBST ( error : 1 : 6 );

Error will always be returned formatted so :
PGM001(0001) This is the message text.

It needs to be redecomposed for the RPGIII caller so :
ErrorPgm        = 'PGM001 '
ErrorCode       = '0001'
ErrorMsg = 'This is the message text. '




P Main            B
D                 PI
D ErrorCode                           LIKE ( ERRCD ) D
ErrorPgm                            
LIKE ( ERRPG ) D ErrorMsg                            LIKE ( ERRLB )

D error           S                   LIKE( ERRMG )

IF NOT MySP ( error );

  ErrorCode = %SUBST ( error : 8 : 4 );
  ErrorMsg  = %SUBST ( error : 14 );
  ErrorPgm  = %SUBST ( error : 1 : 6 );

ENDIF;


Debugging, if I change ErrorPgm, then positions 11 to 20 in
ErrorMsg change.


error   = 79A
ErrorCode       =  4A
ErrorMsg        = 73A
ErrorPgm        = 10A


Thanks.
