For that type of problem, judicious use of trace i or trace ?i can make an obscure bug obvious. I wish there were an equivalent method for detecting cases where IBM documentation uses the same wording for a parameter pointing to foo and a parameter pointing to the address of foo ;-(
Why not use value()? Admittedly it wouldn't have prevented your particular problem, but its less likely to blow up in your face. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
