Domino calling an i program with mismatched parameters kills the server.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We upgraded our BPCS from 405CD to LX.  As part of that upgrade numerous 
field sizes changed.  We have a Domino routine which goes out to our ERP, 
pulls in some information and posts it into Domino.  BOM240 type stuff. We 
have two versions of a CL program: one for 405CD and one for LX.  The 
Lotus programmers thought they could just change it to call the new one 
and all would be well.  They forgot to change the parameter size on their 
call.  This resulted in the Domino server going casters up.  Nasty fault. 
Had to restart server (just the domino server, not the whole lpar).  PMR 
38335,500.

405CD version of BOM240PDF.
PGM        ( &USRLIB &PARENT &KFACI &FILENAME )
DCL        &USRLIB      *CHAR  10
DCL        &PARENT      *CHAR  15
DCL        &KFACI       *CHAR   2
DCL        &FILENAME    *CHAR  15

LX version of BOM240PDF
PGM        ( &USRLIB &PARENT &KFACI &FILENAME )
DCL        &USRLIB      *CHAR  10
DCL        &PARENT      *CHAR  35
DCL        &KFACI       *CHAR   3
DCL        &FILENAME    *CHAR  15

Fixing the lotus to use the new field sizes fixed that situation.  We're 
running into other issues further down on the program but we're slogging 
through.  Things like change the INLIBL used (this one uses a custom one 
in a custom library), etc.

More of an FYI than anything else.
