Using Stan's (I think) command file:

  :showerr 166,8111
  HPDEBUG Intrinsic at: a.00a2a678 hxdebug+$c4
  variable management
  The length of the variable name is greater than 255 characters.

where 'showerr' contains:

  parm p_subsys=108,p_error=63
  comment This command file decodes subsys and info error codes.
  comment Compliments of Mike Hornsby from Beechglen Development.
  comment With special thanks to Stan Sieler from Allegro.
  comment
  setvar subsys hex(!p_subsys)
  setvar error hex(!p_error)
  comment the hex conversion allows for negative numbers
  comment the #32765 is  magic  according to Stan!
  setvar cmd "wl errmsg(#32765,!subsys);wl errmsg(!error,!subsys);exit"
  debug !cmd
  deletevar cmd

I'd suspect that you haven't blank-terminated the variable name in
the call to HPCIGETVAR.
