Rick,
I had similar strange behavior.
The issue was the parameter values where not padded with the correct number of blanks
Ensure that your quote parameters are equal to how they are defined.

Subject: Strange behavior
I have a very simple program I can call from a CLP that just retrieves and returns a value based on the value passed - use example:
CALL PGM(SU22A1) PARM('FROMVERS3 ' &OLDVERS )
CALL PGM(SU22A1) PARM('OBJLIB ' &NJOBDL )
CALL PGM(SU22A1) PARM('JOBD ' &NJOBD )
I use the different variables in commands thereafter. As I step through each step in debug, after the first call, the variable &OLDVERS has the value I expect. After the second call, variable &NJOBDL has the value I expect, but &OLDVERS is now blank, and after the third call, &NJOBD has the value I expect, but &NJOBDL is blank too.
what gives? I'm guessing it's an issue with the called program reusing the same pointer space in memory, but how can I keep this from happening short of saving off the value before calling the next one?
