Title: RE: Mysterious MCH3601 errors at V4R3M0

Oh, this is so encouraging.  We're on V4R3 and have been having this exact same problem and IBM has not been able to help.  It is so intermittent that we haven't been able to re-produce it in testing.  Have you reported it to IBM yet?

Interesting.  We have been having a problem with mysterious MCH3601 errors
also on V4R1.  The following is an example:

Pointer not set for location referenced.                     
Internal failure in compiler or subroutine.                  
Application error.  RNX9998 unmonitored by QRNXIE at statement  0000000016,
instruction X'0000'.      

There are a couple of other examples where the program is QRNXIO that looked
like they were related the use of a multi-member file.  The example above,
however, does not involve a multi-member file.

There are two interesting things about this.  First, when a multi-member
file is involved, we have determined that a WRITE operation to the
multi-member file followed by a READ or READE operation to another file
causes the crash.  The second is that converting from RPGIV to RPGIII solves
the problem.
