Re: RDi 9.9 still generates RCL_API_Log_Sample files :(

Hi Marco,

Please contact IBM support with a small snippet of code.

Especially any Data Structures using ALIGN(*FULL) and LIKEREC(<prototyped value>); If it's a common issue in your source code, it's likely in a /copy or /include file.

I suspect these occurred in 98 as well, but that stack trace will fill up logs very quickly.

Thanks!
