David:

Does this only occur with certain objects your customer is attempting to move? What object type(s)? Any IASPs involved?

Is this a CL program that invokes MOVOBJ? Or are you invoking MOVOBJ via QCMDEXC from some other HLL?

If a CL program, perhaps you can create a "debug" version of that program that issues a DMPCLPGM command just prior to invoking the MOVOBJ, so you can see what all of the variables look like? (Have the customer e-mail you the resulting spool file...)

I also find it helpful to "echo" such commands to the job log ... e.g. concatenate the string with the command and issue a SNDPGMMSG to send that to the job log, or use an equivalent API.

HTH,

I've got a program on a customers system that's doing a MOVOBJ ... and, sometimes, it's failing with a MCH3602 error.

IBM is saying that it's our program that's at fault ... but I can't see how. We're just invoking MOVOBJ with parameters.

The phrase "Pointer type" is significant, I'm sure.

This is running on 7.3.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks!
