Re: ILE RPG - Monitor for MCH3401 not working - With code of small sample programs

Well when you do an Extra you are branching out of the range of instructions bracketed by the Monitor code - so I guess I'm not that surprised although if this is indeed the case I would expect the docs to reflect it.

MONITOR should handle exceptions in a called subroutine. If you replace the CALL statement with say a pointer-not-set error, it gets caught in both programs.

Martin, I recommend that you contact IBM about this.

To get a pointer-not-set error:

dcl-s x int(10) based(p);
x = x + 1; // MCH3601: Pointer not set
