Does anybody know of a case where a statement like

C EVAL AHFROM = GETEMAIL

where GETEMAIL is a procedure call with no parameters, returning an
80-character string, could throw an MCH1210? The procedure definition is
in the same module, but the exception is not being thrown in the
procedure definition.

Does the procedure definition correctly reflect the length of the data
being returned by GETEMAIL? If not, that can be a problem because
different lengths of data can be returned in different ways.

If the procedure definition correctly reflects the actual length of
data returned (not how much of it you plan to use), then I don't see
an obvious problem.
