Re: MCH0601 - I've no idea what's happening

The above should have left the inquiry message name RNQ9999; there is apparently no equivalent 9999 RPG run-time error-condition identified with a RNX message identifier. The actual spooled joblog with full logging enabled would show if\what condition was unmonitored, and thus what could be captured accordingly.

the MCH0601 can be used to trigger an action [and should by default
the existing action would include spooled files QPDSPLOG and
QPSRVDMP being produced; wherein the former includes a stack and the
latter likely including some of the static storage identified by the
pointer, which I suppose would reveal the actual length and implying
the large offset was invalid due to being far past the end]. <<SNIP>>

That should have noted QPDSPJOB as the former SplF name, but that is somewhat moot, as the default action does not include the *JOB information for the Data To Be dumped (DMPLST) as defined for the MCH0601; apparently only some specific FMT() entries from the message are defined to be dumped when the error condition is not monitored. So if the condition was unmonitored and the Dump List information had the *JOB information-item added, then a new incident would have the spooled Display Job information included for review of\after the failure.
