Re: API location on V4Rx?

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back to V3R6 there was a change in
putenv()/getenv() support.  Up through V3R1 the environment variable
support was part of the CPA toolkit option of OS/400.  Back in those days
you used the CRTCPAPGM to create your application and your application was
bound to QP0ZSRV01.  In V3R6 the environment variable support was moved
into the base of OS/400 and applications were bound to QP0ZCPA.

There must be something else going on.

That doesn't make sense. We use putenv and getenv all though some of
our code and have run the same *PGM objects on 440 to 530 with no
problems.

Restore doesn't check exports. They are only checked during compile and
run. Provide the exact error messages from the job log.

I don't recall anything special about putenv/getenv on 510.
