Re: Pointer not set for location referenced

Hi Mark,

You didn't  give enough information for me to determine what the problem
is.  Somewhere you're either trying to access a variable that's based on a
*NULL pointer, or you're trying to work with a parameter that has not been
passed.

Are any of the parameters that you're using in that CALL operation defined
with the BASED d-spec keyword?   Or, were they supplied to your
program/procedure as parameters?

The best way to troubleshoot this error is to first figure out the exact
statement that the error is occuring on.   Then, trace back all of the
variables used in that statement and find out where they came from.  One
of them is either a parameter that's not passed, or it's a BASED variable
that's not set to a valid location...
