In addition to Joel's excellent comments, may I add another thought?  DUMP,
DSPLY and QSYSPRT can all be your friend in cases like this.  Very often, I
create a data area that I use to toggle the 'debug' mode on and off.  In my
code, I check the data area and if it's set to debug, I issue a DUMP, DSPLY
or WRITE some output to QSYSPRT.  DUMP in particular is great because it
takes a snapshot of all variables at once.  When you find the problem it's a
simple matter to toggle the data area to the 'non-debug' state.  Then, in a
year, when some odd thing crops up, you can turn debug back on and look at
it without a struggle.
