Try putting a line like

somewhere before your first use of the storage function.
Some of the storage function calculations need more than the default 9 digits'
precision, depending on address values and memory contents.

Hello all,
The glitch was the NETVIEW REXXSTRF value thas was set to the default
DISABLE. While we wait for an IPL, the OVERRIDE solves the issue.
And as Kulosu noted, it is Mark Zelden's IPLINFO rexx that we are using,
not an IBM supplied one.
Thank you all for your time and valuable

A local Rexx function doesn't override a BIF unless it's in the same Rexx
program. At least, not that I've ever seen.
This seems like it should be easy to diagnose: just write a tiny program
that just does that storage() call and trace it.

Did you check the value of REXXSTRF in the netview defaults???
Try a LIST DEFAULTS command in Netview and be sure that the values for
REXXSTRF is ENABLE

Say c2x(Storage(16-6,8))
Say c2x(Storage((1+1+1+1+21-15),8))
Say c2x(Storage(10,8))
Say c2x(Storage("10",8))
So here is the prob
Say c2x(Storage(16-6,8))
Say c2x(Storage((1+1+1+1+21-15),8))
Say c2x(Storage(10,8))
Say c2x(Storage("10",8))
So here is the problem I have, the address portion is being computed as decimal
numbers and yet the storage function is treating the final result as a string
of HEX numbers.
Yes they all returned the appropriate values ...
But unexpected since 10+0 should have been passed as a decimal number and not a
string ... maybe this is IBM REXX v ooREXX ... don't know...
10+4 is 14 decimal and storage treated it as 14 hex
just not the behavior I have seen with other REXX
Ooh, that's good! Someone on the erring system wrote a REXX subroutine and
named it STORAGE; I like it.

The first argument to STORAGE is a string. 16 would be wrong.
While it's possible that this won't fix it, the correct syntax would be:
CVT = C2d(Stor

Hi Jack, I would recommend that you put a Call Trace("I") statement
before this CVT variable set statement, and also add a Say
