RE: CL Parameter ends up fulla crud.

["Mark Walter" <mwalter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You're passing a pointer to a variable that has one byte of memory allocated. 
The CL is allocating 8 bytes for it's parameter. How is the system to know what 
to use and what not to use?

Two CLLE PGMs.

Called PGM has three parms 10, 8 and 8 bytes all character.

Calling pgm passes in 10, 8 and 1 byte parms, also all character.

Everything comes across but parm 3 has 7 bytes of crud after byte 1,
which is correct.

This ain't supposed ta happen, correct?  We'd fix the one byte parm to 8
bytes but there are hundreds of these in the system and the crud just
appears randomly.

i5, V5R3, late 2005 CUMes and Groups.

 Thoughts?

     - Larry.
