Re: STRDBG giving wrong data

[Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxx]

It sounds to me as if you may have a mismatch in the length of the passed data
between the original definition and that in your RPG program.  Suppose that the
original program defines Parm1 as 10 long and Parm2 as 10 long (but in storage
they happen to be allocates as Parm2 followed by Parm1).  If your RPG defines
Parm2 as being 20 long and moves a value to it, that will overwrite the contents
of Parm1.

Remember - you don't pass data to a program - you pass the address of the data
(i.e. a pointer) it is up to the called program to respect the length of the
original field.  Which is why using RPG IV's prototyping support is a good idea.
