Re: RPG/400 pgm strange behaviour

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Most common problem is overlapping fields in memory.  Look at 
where the fields are defined.  Also, check the calling program 
and make sure that it is passing the parameters in, in the right 
size.  If you had your ELSE doing a MOVE *BLANKS to MSDT$E than 
you would probably notice $RTC$E being cleared also.

Subject:        RPG/400 pgm strange behaviour



I have a program (RPG/400) that checks if some record exists and return.

These two filds are *ENTRY parms of the PGM:
MSDT$E - length 256
$RTC$E (*FOUND or *ERROR) - length 8A


The condition used is like this:

*IN,96    IFEQ '0'
          MOVEL'*FOUND'  $RTC$E
          MOVELMSDTOH  MSDT$E
          ELSE
          MOVEL'*ERROR'  $RTC$E
          ENDIF

It works fine, excepts for one thing: if the condition is true, when it moves
the MSDTOH content to MSDT$E, it erases the $RTC$E field. For the other hand,
when the first move is done, the '*Found' is placed in the 34th position of the
field MSDT$E.

Is there any restriction about entry parms lenght ?
How can I resolve this?

Thanks
