Re: RPGIV MoveA issue.

Hi John,

You showed us everything except how PA, PRM1 and PRM2 are defined in the
calling program. If they are defined as shorter fields than in the program
you showed, you may very well get overlapping fields. For example, if PRM1
and PRM2 are defined as 10A in the calling program, they will most likely be
placed in 20 bytes of contiguous storage. Your RPG program's references to
PRM1 will overwrite PRM2, and some undefined storage beyond that.
