Issue/Introduction

Why do I receive an S30E error executing a link edited Easytrieve program under Easytrieve Plus Report Generator release 6.3?

 

Environment

Easytrieve Plus Report Generator, release 6.3

Resolution

Easytrieve Plus is not downwardly compatible. When you compile and linkedit an Easytrieve program, you can execute it with the same release level or higher.

If you are getting an S30E abend, you most likely have compiled and link edited the Easytrieve program using Easytrieve Plus 6.4, but are executing that program with Easytrieve Plus 6.3 or lower. This has never been supported by Easytrieve, but now that Easytrieve Plus 6.4 is 31-bit, the S30E abend always occurs.
