Did the program / procedure calling this one call it with all 3
parameters? It looks like the 3rd parameter was added separately to the
first 2.

Subject: Getting a MCH3601 Pointer not set

I have the following:

D-specs
D wrunc s 1

Getting this in the definitions per compiled listing

WRUNC A(1) 009800D 011400 0390
BASED(_QRNL_PRM+)

*entry plist
parm ONE
parm TWO
parm wrunc

Now in the C-specs
if wrunc = cspace

When I hit this line inside debug or not in debug mode I get a

Pointer not set for location referenced.
Function check. MCH3601 unmonitored by PROGRAM_NAME at statement 123456.

In my AS400 COBOL days a MCH3601 came from not having the file that had
variable in the record OPENED.

Not having a good day. Lots of internet ups and downs.

Other issues.
