Re: VARPG Linkage(*Server) service program debugging

Hi Kurt, I think you should call IBM. Usually they can fix the problem in
days and give you a specific fix for the problem. In the past there was
some problems (but fixed in V6.0) with the keyword const. I think the
problem is with the underlying code to translate to QZRUCLSP. Can't help
since I don't use it.

So, I think I found something interesting. VARPG appears to be
misinterpreting the array parameter when it goes to use QZRUCLSP in the
background. When I scratched calling the prototype like this and
instead directly called QZRUCLSP, the call works.

D $FmtItemDesc PR Linkage(*Server)
D ExtPgm( 'ITMSPROC' )
D ExtProc('$FMTITEMDESC')
D DescIn 350a Const Varying
D DescOutArray 35a Dim( 20 )
D NumOfElem 3u 0

Note the array parameter. From my testing, it looks like instead of a
35a Dim(20) = 700a, it's treating it as 20a.

Hi Kurt,

Glad to hear Marco's suggestion worked for you.

I was going to suggest using a Service Entry Point. That will catch
everything all the time.

Cheers,

Hi Kurt, VARPG opens two connections, one for files (DDM I think) and
the other one is for remorte calls. You need to service/debug the
second one.
