Re: XALLOC in program LIBHTTP/HTTPAPIR4

[Dennis <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would start by getting a clean compile of XALLOC (compile into QTEMP if you like - you only need the listing), and seeing what's going on at statement 21 (from the compiled listing of that program).  Then I'd try to figure out why the parameter to the %ALLOC (or similar) operation at that statement number is not within the appropriate range.

It sounds like this has nothing to do with how you open or close the IFS file.
