RE: Called RPG returns MCH3601

It is almost certain that the problem is caused by the RPG program treating
the parameter as longer than it is.  The COBOL compiler  generates pointers
(for any fields/structures that are used as parms) in the "gap" between one
01 level and the next.  If COBOL defines a 20 character field and the RPG
treats it as 50 long and (say) moves blanks to it "boom" no more valid
pointer.

If that is not it, can you tell us just what field etc. is being passed.
i.e. is it in the record buffer or working storage?  What version of COBOL
are you using?  etc.
