<<< Help debugging an RPG-CGI Program >>>

Hi list:

My BIG issue here is on the calculations, but let me present the scenario.

Background
This program was working perfectly before we had our High Availability 
Project and now we have a test box and a production box.  We use ALDON 
LM(i) to maintain our programs.  Two days ago we had to update the source 
and eliminate an obsolete file and add the new one.  Looked like a simple 
task to do.  We compiled and promoted to production.  By the way, the 
binding directory is called CGIBNDDIR in QGPL and it has QTMHCGI *SRVPGM 
from QTCP library. 

Objective of the program
This is supposed to list manufacturing detail data on the browser, 
depending on the manufacturing order number that is coming from a previous 
screen. 

Issue
The variable below called "EnvDataLen" is returning a zero.  I know this 
because if it was not zero, I would have data displayed on the browser. As 
I explained before, it was working before.  I do not why is not working. 

See the following specifications: 

     hDftActGrp(*No) BndDir('CGIBNDDIR')  
     fitmrval0  if   e           k disk    usropn prefix(i)  
     fmomast    if   e           k disk    usropn prefix(m)  
     fmorout    if   e           k disk    usropn prefix(r)  
     fpstdtll0  if   e           k disk    usropn prefix(d)
