I have a program that's doing some funky stuff...  It's not a new program,
but it needed a recompile and ever since is behaving very badly.  I've had
it in debug, and this is what I've tracked it to...  A 14 byte character
array w/ 998 elements is getting loaded with at least the first 146 bytes of
the job's LDA when  the program reads a record from a dataqueue.  The
dataqueue has nothing to do with the character array.  When a value is put
in the array, it is then overlaid by the value of the *LDA the next time the
receive dtaq command is executed...  Nothing is overlapping in the D
Specs...  No sub-fields w/ the same name... Any thoughts?
 
This is the code that's executed where things go astray...

C* Read Record from Data Queue                                    
C                   MOVE      *ZEROS        WAIT              5 0 
C                   CALL      'QRCVDTAQ'                          
C                   PARM                    QNAME                 
C                   PARM                    QLIB                  
C                   PARM                    QLEN                  
C                   PARM                    DATA                  
C                   PARM                    WAIT                  

This is the D spec of the array "E"...

D E               S             14    DIM(998)

This is the array prior to the receive dtaq cmd...
E                     CHAR(14)             DIM(998)                        
                        (1-998)            '              '                
                        VALUE IN HEX       '4040404040404040404040404040'X

This is the array after the rcvdtaq cmd...
