The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

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

One is set, the other is not and you're passing the one not set.
There's an annoying "feature" of RPG where RPG will automatically define
the basing pointer used in the BASED keyword, if the pointer is not
already defined. At least, I find it annoying.
If you use the BASED keyword in a subprocedure and code a global pointer
as the parameter, RPG will "helpfully" define the pointer locally. So
even though you think you have only defined the pointer once, the
compile listing will show that it is actually defined twice.
The most usual symptom of this is that when the based variable is used
in the subprocedure, it fails due to pointer-not-set.
dcl-s p pointer;
dcl-proc;
dcl-s fld char(10) based(p); // causes P to be defined locally!
end-proc;
