RE: RPG IV pgm dump

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your program is not observable; saves room and is the default, but DASD is
cheap, so
you will have to recompile so it is observable, then let is abend again and
dump,
then you will see your variables.  By default here we make all ILE
observable just for
this reason, the space savings IMHO is nominal, performance "could" be a
hit, I am not
a bare metal techo weenie though, but from an overall time saver, I feel you
are better
off just making them observable to begin with, why, because no one is
perfect, and we
will all miss the size at some point in time, or someone else will put some
erroneous
data in "our" files.

Subject: RPG IV pgm dump


We had an RPG IV pgm abend this morning with the following error:  The
target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result.  We
understand this msg.  But when we looked at the dump, there is no field
information.  At the end of the dump is the following stmt:  Dump
terminated because variable data not available.  Does anybody have any idea
what this means?  Thanks for any help.
