Folks, I have posted code at
http://code.midrange.com/6d4d39e9e7.html that
is intended to exercise the cvtch procedure (to convert hex characters to
the binary data they represent).
I have struggled with this instruction time and again over the years, and
always end up writing my own. I was inspired and encouraged by Scott's
example here
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200205/msg00309.html - and
that does work great without changes on this system. However, my code does
not, and I don't see gaping differences, aside from the length of the
buffers and so on.
(Note, there was much more to this program than what you see... but I have
stripped it down to this minimum-failing module in order to support the
debugging process.
The error experienced when running this on a V5R3 system occurs when
executing the cvtch() function:
Message ID . . . . . . : C2M3001 Severity . . . . . . . : 30
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent . . . . . . : 04/16/10 Time sent . . . . . . : 05:18:22
Message . . . . : A domain error in a math function occurred.
Cause . . . . . : An input argument is outside the domain for which the
mathematical function is defined.
Recovery . . . : Supply input values that are consistent with the
mathematical definition of the function.
Would someone please enlighten me as to why I struggle so with this one?
Stragely enough, I never have such issues with cvthc. Go figure.
