Error description
PLI compiler message IBM1678I occurs when using include members CMQP and CMQXP. Message Message Description IBM1678I Assignment of POINTER to FIXED BIN is invalid. The program compiles ok when we use the V6 include members. We get two messages IBM1678I when we use the V701 include members. The problem is that structure fields like securityparmsptr have changed from pointer to fixed bin(31). If the fixed bin field will be changed to a pointer field then MSGIBM1678I does not occur.
Local fix
use V6 include members from SCSQPLIC.
