RE: Paremeter Length errors.

["Gary L Peskin" <garyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I replied to soon on this.  I see that it thinks parameter 5 is 14
bytes long.  Press F1 on your CPF3C1D message and see who is sending the
message and from where to whom.  Perhaps TESTSRVPGM is calling some API and
that's where the problem is.  First step is to find out the line causing the
error message to be issued.
