PM01433: problem passing numerics to form

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Passing of form field numerics with fieldlen specified as INOUT
  function arguments can cause a misalignment of the data being pa
  ssed.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem was that all form field variables are defined as
  NUM to cobolgen, and the length of the NUM is taken from the
  larger of either the NUM's length or the fieldlen attribute.
  This was not being taken into account when moving the
  variable to a function as in INOUT argument. This caused a
  length mismatch on the memory mapping.
  

Problem conclusion

• Software updated. Fixtest available.
  

Temporary fix
