Just to provide an interesting update on this: It appears that the engineers
are compiling these COBOL programs in some odd way. When I compile them,
they work. I wonder if it could be that they are compiling them on a
different platform. I know they like to compile their stuff on z/OS 1.4
still (and all of our IMS testing has been done on z/OS 1.8)
Anyway, that's the update. No coding error, it's somehow environmental.
Thanks again to those who gave me the tips to speed up my productivity!
This might be caused by using uninitialized fields, or indexing
past the end of an array. What you get depends on what happens
to be in memory.
The SSRANGE COBOL option can help find array index problems.
For uninitialized fields, you either have to find them and
initialized them before you use them or use the set the LE
option to clear memory.
