Re: MONITOR not catching MCH3601

Any reason you didn't specify the api name?

It's funny, I had this exact message show up today. But it wasn't with an
api call. It was a call to an SQLRPGLE program from a CLLE. Where the
second parm in the call from the CLLE was defined as CHAR(1) but the PR &
PI on the SQLRPGLE program was trying to return back 100 characters in that
parm.

In short it appears that you have some kind of mismatch on the parm being
passed. Just a thought.

Hi all,

I have an intermittent problem that has popped up. I am calling an IBM
system API and about every 100,000 calls it throws a MCH3601 (Pointer not
set for location referenced). Outside of trying to determine why the

error

is occurring my intent is to "catch" this error using a MONITOR block but

it

seems to be ignoring the MONITOR block and instead displaying a message

to

the QSYSOPR message queue.

For example:

MONITOR;
apiname(...);
ON-ERROR;
// Process MCH3601 if it occurs
ENDMON;

Any ideas why it is going to QSYSOPR vs. hitting the ON-ERROR program
boundry?

Thanks,
