PAGE 34 ======= In section 1.16.6, the line: shown below in 1.4.1 should say: shown below in 1.16.7 PAGE 47 ======= Last line: TYPE(OBJECT should be: TYPE(OBJECT) Resolution: resolved Revised Text: The corrections proposed in the issue have been adopted in full and incorporated into the resulting document.

The first part (down to the second 'when' statement in the code on page 26 should be replaced with the following (same as before with the if/select/when amendments): CHECK_ERRORS: PROC(FUNCTION_NAME) RETURNS(FIXED BIN(31)); dcl exc_name char(64); dcl exception_info char(64); if example_user_exception.d ^= 0 then do; display('example_user_exception'); strget(exception_id,64,exc_name); select(example_user_exception.d); when(1) do; display('value1 =' ||example_bad.value1); display('reason =' ||example_bad.reason); end; when(2) ... (as before in the document) ... PAGE 106 - code example mistake - as in page 26 above ======== The same happens on page 106 (the formatting of the code on the page also needs some tidying as far as format is concerned). On this page, the 'if' down to the second 'when' statement needs to be replaced with the 'if' block shown above. PAGE 31 ======= All the lines of code which say: if vtptr=sysnull() || p_vtargs=null should be replaced with: if vtptr=sysnull() || p_vtargs=sysnull() PAGE 33 ======= Amend the line: 3 ctl ptr, to be: 3 ctl ptr init(sysnull()),
