I'm looking at a program dump I can't explain, on a customer box.

The program in question threw a decimal data error on a CHAIN statement. It is traditional RPG scatter-gather I/O; no target structure is specified on the statement. The joblog and the dump itself agree on which statement it was. The record it was trying to chain to exists. It matches what the dump shows in both the key and the input buffer. None of the fields of the record show any decimal data errors.

And here's the kicker: in the dump, the record shows in the buffer, but *not* in the fields!

Just a few minutes ago, connected to the same box, running the same program, in the same environment, I was able to reproduce the circumstances under which the error occurred for the end-user, but not the error itself: for me, it worked just fine.

The box is on V7R3M0. The program was created on that box, using the V3R7M0 ILE RPG compiler.

Has anybody ever heard of anything like this happening?
