RE: HANS...look at this one please

Tony,

FYI,
If you compile your OPM programs using OPTION(*SRCDBG) you'll be able to use the STRDBG and STRISDB debuggers.  You don't need to change to CLLE/RPGLE...

Subject: HANS...look at this one please

This is a weird problem, I hope Hans sees this, since he's the RPG Guy.
I'm at V4R4.
I've got a CLLE pgm which calls an OPM rpg pgm.
The CL passes 4 parms, the 4th one is &OK, a flag ('0' or '1'), then the
cl does other stuff, based on &OK.
The CL calls the RPG with &OK set to '1', it stays a '1' right up thru
the last statement of the RPG, then is a blank when it returns to the CL
pgm.  I know all this by using ISDB on the RPG.
This is a weird one, looks like a problem with variables going through
activation groups, boundaries or something along those lines.
The clle is *CALLER and is called from a CLP(from a menu).

I recompiled the CLLE as a CLP, it works again.
These pgms were written in 1989, have been working fine, until I changed
the CLP to CLLE, just for better debug capabilities.

I called in a PMR (63932-019)  An IBMer should be able to see the
details of the call.
The tech recommended I apply SF62366 (for 5769RG1) and SF60261,
SF60936(for 5769SS1)
They're downloading now and the tech is talking to their RPG developer
to call me back

Re-stated.
CLP (menu) --> CLLE, calls OPM RPG (to create a splf) with &OK='1', then
does other stuff based on return value of &OK, and ends

I believe this to be a software defect and should be looked into.
