Re: Literal chopped off by varying when passed -- RPG400-L

That's what I see too - it works fine on V5R2.

I've compiled the same code (with the /free bits reverting to fixed format
of course) on a V4R3 system (!) and it works there too. I don't have access
to a V5R1 system any more, so I can't test it on that release, but, assuming
it's not a V5R1-specific problem, my guess is still that something is making
the string zero length after it's been passed in.

Pete,

I copied your code to a V5R2 system, compile it and ran it.

It worked correctly.  Here is the debugging output just prior to the
   return *null;
statement:

You may be back level on PTFs.  Here is the list of 5722WDS PTFs on the
