RE: RPG/400 pgm strange behavior

["Richard Jackson" <richardjackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Or, if all subprograms calls go through QCMDEXC.

Both techniques are also equivalent to "call by value".

I am really struggling for other ways to see this happen.  Here is the list
I can think of at the moment:

1. sbmjob
2. call via qcmdexc
3. server program that reads a message sent to a queue (msgq, dtaq, PF, etc)
4. any of the RMTCMD functions
5. submit job using a jobd with a command line (this is repetitive)
6. sockets or LU6.2 evoke
7. C system(); function

Please send in other choices.

You shouldn't have this problem calling from a CL program to another CL
program.   However, if you do a SBMJOB from a CL program to call another
CL program, you'll run into this error again.  Maybe thats what you're
thinking of?

The reason for this is simple... When you create a new job, it can no
longer access the memory from the original job.  So it creates a new
"command-line" to start up the program in the new job.   The proper
fix, as you already pointed out, is to create a command.
