The &LENGTH parameter in this program is defined as *DEC but the API is
expecting *INT. The statement
DCL VAR(&LENGTH) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(4) VALUE(50)
is creating &LENGTH with a value of x'0000050F' which the API is
interpreting as 1295 - just a bit longer than the 50 bytes you are really
passing. On V5R3 you could change to
DCL VAR(&LENGTH) TYPE(*INT) VALUE(50)
which would give you x'00000032' (a length of 50). Alternatively you could
DCL VAR(&LENGTH) TYPE (*CHAR) LEN(4) VALUE(x'00000032')
Your API call may have appeared to be working OK on prior releases, but you
were inadvertently corrupting storage which may have caused other
application functions to work "strangely".

Hi list!
This is the first time I have an error with this API after we installed
V5R3.

What have changed? I checked the archives and there are just 10 hits

I do not find too much help on the IBM's website:
