Re: RPG/400 pgm strange behaviour

Although this doesn't appear to be the cause of your problem, Silvio, it
might be worth noting that CL will only allocate enough memory for a 32A
field IF positions 33 and up are unused.  

For example, passing a 100A field from a CL pgm containing 'Jon Paris' will
have this value
but also garbage from positions 33 to 100 (whatever happens to be residing
in memory).  What
we'd do in this case is just move it to a 101A field with a value placed in
position 101.
That way enough memory is allocated and you just work with the first 100A in
the receiving pgm.  Please note that we do this with the %substr bif in
RPGIV, though.  At least this 
might rule-out something for you....

BTW  by referencing Jon Paris with 'garbage' I in no way meant any
disrespect, as he is a true gentleman and a founding father of RPGIV (and
who knows what else!) <g>.
