HI All,
While trying to debug a subprogram,I am getting "FETCH PROTECTED AREA" message in the very first statement.
I have called a sub program dynamically by passing 2 variables which is of length 11 and 19 respectively. In the linkage section of the sub program, I have defined 2 variables of similar lengths 11 and 19 respectively and I have used procedure division using variable 1 and variable2. This resulted in the above error.
I have tried with declaring a s9(4) comp variable as the first variable in the linkage section of the sub program. Even in this case also I ended up with same error. Both the calling and called programs and batch. Can some one help me out in resolving this error?
Thanks in advance |

Which debugger?
You need to show your code. Data definitions, CALL and PROCEDURE DIVISION. |

DATA DEFINITION IN THE MAIN PROG:
01 P-IA.
05 NAME PIC X(11).
01 P-OA.
05 NAME PIC X(11).
05 DOB PIC X(8).
Call statement:
CALL WS-PROGRAM1 USING P-IA
P-OA
END-CALL
linkage section in the called program:
01 W-IA.
05 NAME PIC X(11).
01 W-OA.
05 NAME PIC X(11).
05 DOB PIC X(8).
PROCEDURE DIV in the called program:
PROCEDURE DIVISION USING W-IA, W-OA |

Well, that looks OK.
You are trying to access storage which does not belong to you, and worse than the usual S0C4 you are trying to get it from an area which is protected from you "fetching" it.
If the program was running before, review the latest changes. If it is a new program, more difficult, but you have to do things like check all the parameters to any transfers of control and ensure they are in the correct order, if not using SSRANGE check all subscripting - something has overwritten something and is giving you bad addresses. |

| I've never got a message like that, but never used Xpeditor. Perhaps it is just a S0C4? Same process, anyway. |

| Are your DATA DIVISION fields part of an FD whose file hasn't been opened yet or are they defined to WORKING-STORAGE? |

| Double check to make sure you are executing the load module you THINK you are executing. Xpediter can be a bit tricky. |
