Re: [MI400] MATPG corrupts data at offset X'B0' ?

Hello Gene,

When I saw your earlier question with "The emailed program was not generated
through QPRROOTP, but through something else."  I thought to myself what
else is there except an IBM internal compiler.  PL/MI is an IBM internal
compiler and is used to develop much of OS/400.  It is quite possible
(indeed probable) that it generates a different instruction stream and sets
additional flags that are not present in the QPRCRTPG interface or even the
QPRROOTP interface.

I know that it generates declarations for EXCM that are different from
'standard' MI.  There are other differencecs as well but I'm starting to
forget them because it has been over 5 years since I last wrote anything in
PL/MI.

I'd be a wee bit careful about someone who has e-mailed you what is probably
IBM code to disassemble.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
