Quick Fatal Error 635

G'day Ray

Have you examined the data in the input record where it crashes?  Are you
using any PH functions to convert a value from the input stream, e.g.
DATE(DAYS(..., etc.

I have seen this problem several times in a VMS environment, where PH
crashes to the VMS prompt.  In most cases it was the data at fault.  E.g. a
date function used in a select statement where the value was a NULL and the
PHD allowed NULLS (i.e. NULLs weren't converted to zero or blank).  Another
case was a NULL in an index field when the key was supposed to be NOT NULL.

I dislike NULLs in data!

If the program is ran against a small number of input records it works fine
but as soon as the while retrieving gets to 16,000+ records I get to error
"*Fatal Error* *635* Notify Cognos Customer Support". Cognos don't have a
definite answer and suggested that I use a QKGO file to increase to number
of screen levels allowed. This hasn't worked either.

Has anyone any ideas.
