I think you're missing something...

What's the actual error message?

Are you sure about the line#?

The line you've shown is apparently trying to replace the 3409th character
of PSQ with an 'X'...

So ODSEQ# in the program is named WWSEQ5 in the DB?

Assuming you expect ODSEQ# to be 8...

I'd verify that's it's an 8 when the record is read...and wherever WWSEQ5
gets loaded to ODSEQ#.

Then I agree with Jon, memory corruption. Check the parms of any programs
called by the failing one, and any programs they call...and so forth.

Might give this thread a read...

A program that is well over 4 years old failed today... When I view the
suspect field value in debug (or do a PGM DUMP and view in spool file), I
see a DIFFERENT value than what is actually in the database file.

How could this be??

The field in question ODSEQ# is packed (5,0) - it is the line sequence
number for our Order Entry Detail file.

In debug (and in the dump) the value in this field is 03409.
In the database file, the value is 8.

I verified the database record using SQL select by

1. Keyed values, and

2. Relative Record Number (got this from WRKJOB)

The field inside the program is not manipulated or referenced anywhere in
the code, other than the failing line:
EVAL %SUBST(PSQ:ODSEQ#:1) = 'X'

This is from the dump:
ODSEQ# PACKED(5,0) 03409. '03409F'X

This is from SQL select:
COMPANY ORDER WWSEQ5
014 10001831 8

Any ideas???
