RE: MCH3601 errors

["Fisher, Don" <DRF@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may remember my issue not too long ago with an RPGIV program failing on
a file read even though the parameters all lined up.  When converted to RPG
III, the program executed without an error.

As it turns out, there were calls to programs using externally defined data
structures as parameters.  The length of these data structures was not
explicitly defined in the calling program, but the called program expected
the length to be 256.  When I explicitly defined the lengths of the data
structures, I ceased receiving the MCH3601 message.

Hope that helps.

I've got a particularly perplexing problem with a MCH3601 exception.

I can't figure out where the parameter error is.  I've looked at everything
near the failure
point, both RPG and CL, and everything jives with the docs.
