  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Typical error observed:
    IGYPG3192-E A reference-modification length value caused
    reference to be made beyond the rightmost character of
    "EZELNK-MEMORY1".
    A reference extending to the end of "EZELNK-MEMORY1" was
    assumed.
    
    This is related to the size of dynamic array length and in turn
    the associated record as we currently only support up to 32767
    bytes.
