Re: setsppfp crashes with MCH6801 -- MI400

Thanks a lot for your detailed information. QSECURITY shows 30. But probably you are right that it waschanged back from a higher level without any IPL. I will check that tomorrow and let you know about it.

*OUTFILE is too slow because I have to randomly check for and manage specific 
entries.

I have a program that utilizes setsppfp() to get a pointer to theassociated space of a bindingdirectory object. It runs fine on our development box as well as onour production box. The programcrashes with MCH6801 on our test box which is another LPAR of ourproduction box. The violation type
is 1 = Object domain violation.
Both LPARS (production and test) are at security level 30. As far as Iknow the production LPAR is
DBCS and the test LPAR is SBCS. Both LPARs are at PTF level TL05298.
I presume the LPARs are on the same version of OS/400?
The MCH6801 indicates the failing partition is NOT running at securitylevel 30.
Are you positive the security level on the failing LPAR is 30? TheQSECURITY system value may show 30 but it may have been changed. If itwas originally at a higher level that will still be in effect unlessthe partition has been IPLed after it was changed. Perhaps you shouldarrange for the partition to be IPLed just to be sure.
Your technique will not work at higher security levels. You should findan alternative method. The DSPBNDDIR command supports *OUTFILE. You'dbe better off using that.
