Perhaps the LINKAGE section parameters are not aligned properly in the
non-working case. Try copying them to 77 or 01 level or SYNC type items
local to the subprogram. Try the program then.

> Listers,

> We are currently 5.5 powerpatch 3. We have not yet received powerpatch
> 4
> here in Saudi Arabia. I downloaded the new date intrinsics off HP's
> web
> site so we could use them. The problem is we are still running COBOL
> in
> compatibility mode, so I needed to write a switch stub to call the
> routines. I wrote a switch stub to call HPDATECONVERT. When I started
> calling the routine is when the fun started. The first iteration of my
> test
> program worked fine (see below). But when I added an ACCEPT statement
> to
> the program I got the following error:
> RUN NEWTESTX;LIB=G
> Enter Date (YYMMDD):
> 980101

> **** INTERNAL TRAP
> Data Memory Protection Trap
> [VSM] Invalid Address Alignment
> ABORT: NEWTESTX.HILL.AUTODEV
> NM USER  328.0012e398 HPDATECONVERT+$6c
> NM SYS   a.00e8ad94 arg_regs+$28
>    CM SYS  % 230.350    HPSWTONMPLABEL+%4       SUSER1
>    CM GRP  % 240.320
>    CM PROG %   0.55
> Program terminated in an error state. (CIERR 976)
> If I take out the ACCEPT or make the picture of the variable INPUTDATE
> X(30) instead of X(32) the program works fine. If I leave INPUTDATE
> X(30)
> and remove the ACCEPT the program aborts with the same error. I can
