Sounds like you might have vMyPointer defined in twice, locally &
globally...

One is set, the other is not and you're passing the one not set.

Ran into some strange issue when naming *Pointer variables. V7R2

Program A SQL RPGLE calling Program B service program with parameters. One
of the parameter is Pointer.

If we name a pointer parameter variable in Program A --> vMyPointer we get
unexpected data in service program B or MCH exceptions for memory.

If we change the same variable to pMyPointer or svMyPointer everything
works fine.
