If from C then you pass a pointer to a packed decimal variable. If from MI then you pass the scalar itself. The error you reported is caused by validating the 4th input parameter. All MI instructions that accept a template validate the content of the template. When the template contains an invalid value the MCH5601 message is sent. This message tells you exactly what part of the template is invalid. > Btw I'm missing something because the DDAT1 duration in x0014 is > returned > correctly with ISO and YMD date but I can't get it with other date > format. > And in any case I can never get a Labeled Duration.
