Re: CISC to RISC problems? It's still happening!

Simon -

Remember: there were no problems with crtdupobj OR the running of that
program PRIOR to the conversion: are object rights re-established in full?
Do they need a RSTAUT command? Also, the program abending was executed
exactly the same way (from a menu option) as before. I'm looking for some
known problem with parameter handling that may have been previously
identified with other conversions of this type.

Thanks again.
