    ARNLOAD was not initializing a variable. If the LINECNT is not
    specified in the ACIF indexer parameters, a value from the
    uninitialized variable will be stored in the large object
    header, causing an incorrect display of the document.
    

Problem conclusion

  • ARNLOAD is changed to initialize the variable.
