Silly question,... are you re-writing the display record
after the retrieval of the *LDA?

Subject: *LDA question
I am having a problem with some maintenance coding. The
program is written
in RPGIII. Here is the
issue.... a CL changes a value in the *LDA. An RPG
program is called that does not change the value in the *LDA in
the
positions we are talking about. This RPG
program calls another RPG program.
This program should
take the positions of the *LDA and place the value on a
display screen. This does not happen. I ran the final
program in debug and
found that:
1. The display screen is shown
before the program is executed. In
other words,
the display screen is shown, then when the user presses enter,
the program is executed. The datapath on the display
record format is
shared, but no other program displays
the screen before the problem program.
2. The value of the *LDA is
blank. The CL wrote the values of 'NN'
in the
*LDA in those positions, but in debug, the value is blanks.
3. The value of the *LDA after the
program is executed is the correct
value
('NN').
4. The
*LDA is defined in the program and I checked positions around
the defined positions to make sure the value was not stored in a
different
position. The position described in
the program is the correct position.
The *LDA is
defined and read using these statements:
C
*NAMVAR DEFN *LDA LDA
C
IN LDA
Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks.....
