topic Microfocus Cobol Runtime errors - unindentifiable in Operating System - HP-UX https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/microfocus-cobol-runtime-errors-unindentifiable/m-p/4500816#M653716 We have a N4000 running HP-UX 11.00 and HP Cobol 4.1. Some days ago, our programs started to corrupt database indexes (more than one program, more than one file in more than one filesystem).<BR /><BR />The error code simply returns as "ÿÿ" on a courier-font terminal emulator, so the hex code for this two-character message would be 0xffff. The Cobol people here says they don't know what the error might mean, and insist that it should be an infrastructure problem.<BR /><BR />The VGs are served by an enteprise storage backed with a multipath SAN. There´re syslog/resmon errors at all, and the error does not seem to be correlated with time or processing.<BR /><BR />Has anyone ever seen this kind of error? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<BR /><BR />Thanks.<BR />Ricardo.<BR /> Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:16:09 GMT ricardor_1 2009-09-21T12:16:09Z Microfocus Cobol Runtime errors - unindentifiable https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/microfocus-cobol-runtime-errors-unindentifiable/m-p/4500816#M653716 We have a N4000 running HP-UX 11.00 and HP Cobol 4.1.
