Quiz problem (QDUMP)

Fri, 24 Aug 2001 10:12:16 -0400

Fatal errors can be caused by a number of conditions but the two most common
that I have found are lack of disk space and security issues.  Just a couple
of questions

1) Does the job run as the same user that is always successful running the
program interactively?

2) Does the report limit really need to be set to ~4,000,000?

3) Is their a large sort in the step in front of the accessing of the
SUBFILE which you showed to us?

4) Have you tried to run the creation of the subfile as a separate job
stream apart from the steps above to create the subfile?

Subject: Quiz problem (QDUMP)

Listers,

We're having a strange problem occur with a Quiz routine: It will
sporadically run in a job, and always interactively. We're on version
7.29.C8 on a brand new HP e3000-979, MPEi/X version 6.5.

The routine has been run any number of ways in a job and almost always fails
with the same error message.

Originally, the subfile statement had a PORTABLE on it  -- it was going to
another system and the author wanted to convert numerics to ASCII. Now,
we're just trying to get it to work.

Any thoughts by anyone????

Program terminated in an error state. (CIERR 976)

The QDUMP file doesn't really give me a clue as to what's going on either:
