Re: MONITOR not catching MCH3601

Aaron,
If I had to guess I would say the error is happening somewhere higher up
your call stack. The monitor will only monitor errors from the program you
called and not any other programs called.

Hope this helps (but probably not in this case),

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,
