When I instantiate a string with a statement such as: 

 

eval      profileStr= newString('asanovl')     

 

it works correctly ( I can subsequently use the String object.)

 

When I try and feed in this value from a CL caller passing it 
in as a 10A to the newString:

 

c     *entry        plist                                       

c                   parm                    usrpf            10

 

 

c                   eval      profileStr= newString(usrpf)    

 

I get: Pointer not set for location referenced.  

 

If I try it as a varying value:

 

 

d userid          S             10A   varying         

 

 

c                   eval      userid= usrpf     

 

c                   eval      profileStr= newString(userid) 

 

I get: Pointer not set for location referenced.

 

 

What am I doing wrong? I thought the input to the String 
constructor was a byte arry?
