Re: System variable for program name invalid

Sounds like something from QRPLOBJ. I'd sign off your session and back on
to see if it changes.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have a problem, i have two RPG/400 programs.

One program , lets call it ProgA calls the other program ProgB. No problems
at all.

Ok, now the following. The programmers who coded before me decided to use
the system data structure Progname (pos. 1-10) for the Message files. So,
whenever a call to sndpgmmsg is done, the message-file variable = W#PGMN
(either filled with ProgA or ProgB).

Still no problems, everything works ok. But now whenever i recompile ProgB
(even if i dont adjust anything!) it happens that the programname variable
is filled with something like 'Q1A9B26BEB.' So whenever i fire-up the ProgB
(thru ProgA) an error appears cause it cannot find the messagefile
"Q1A9B26BEB."

When i cancel all the error-messages and restart the ProgA and then go to
ProgB the error will not appear anymore.... until i recompile progB.

Weird?

Hopefully someone can help me out,

regards

FrankvanLeeuwen
