Also, after a successful chain, the field values are all blank or null.

Usual cause is forgetting that file fields (generally) have global scope and providing local variables of the same name (e.g., via a data structure) thus "overriding" them.


Another possible cause is that the fields aren't used in the module. If you are using the debugger to check the field values, and haven't actually used the fields in the code yet, you can add DEBUG(*INPUT) to your H spec. That will stop the compiler from optimizing data moves from the input buffer to the fields. (You have to use DEBUG(*YES) if you are compiling for V5R3 or earlier.)
