The third parameter of %SUBST is the number of characters from the second
parameter, not the "to position" as it is in Java.

It should be:
%subst(comment : 30 : 10)

Subject: %subst problem

This statement is blowing up. However during a debug, I have values in
both nStartPos anf nEndPos and they appear to be correct, 30 and 39,

This is where we get an invoice number. J8_Comment has contents and they
are what they should be. I am not sure what is wrong at this point.



eval J8_Comment = %subst(J8_Comment : nStartPos

nEndPos)





Yet I am getting this fatal error:

Cause . . . . . : One of the following has occurred in RPG procedure


in program xxx/yyy:


- A numeric length or start position is less than 1 or too large for
the

string operation.


- The search-argument parameter of the %SCAN built-in function has
zero

length or is longer than the source-string parameter.


- The maximum-length parameter of the %STR built-in function is not a
value

between 1 and the maximum size of a character field.
