MONITOR not catching MCH3601

["Aaron Bartell" <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have an intermittent problem that has popped up.  I am calling an IBM
system API and about every 100,000 calls it throws a MCH3601 (Pointer not
set for location referenced).  Outside of trying to determine why the error
is occurring my intent is to "catch" this error using a MONITOR block but it
seems to be ignoring the MONITOR block and instead displaying a message to
the QSYSOPR message queue.

For example:

MONITOR;
  apiname(...);
ON-ERROR;
   // Process MCH3601 if it occurs
ENDMON;

Any ideas why it is going to QSYSOPR vs. hitting the ON-ERROR program
boundry?

Thanks,
Aaron Bartell
