Another reason for X'80000000' would be a null last entry in a variable length parameter list. And I could imagine someone not checking for that. (A null entry at the end of a variable list? Who would do THAT?) And if the code is in a seldomly executed path in seldomly invoked error recovery code it could have gone unnoticed for a long time. A PMR sounds appropriate to me. Too bad you won't be able to reproduce it. :-( Pat O'Keefe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
