The problem is the use of the CONST keyword. By specifying CONST you
specifically told the compiler to ignore any data past the 40A; in
effect, you asked it to do a MOVEL (or EVAL) of your 100A into a
temporary 40A field and call with it. Had you not had CONST on the
prototype, the compiler would have indeed complained.

I know, and leaving it on means the programmer complains. I just
thought that prototyping was supposed to protect me from the sort of
error I made, but I shall try to remember these finer details.
