about error SYSTEM-V-ACCVIO

Lionel Liu — Wed, 02 Mar 2005 16:42:41 GMT

I have an application created by Powerhouse (Quiz, Quick,Qtp) to access RDB databasse. One of our user run into the the following error message

%SYSTEM-E-ACCVIO, access violoation, reason mask=!xb, virtual address=!XH,PC=!XL
%NONAME-W-NOMSG,Message number 00000000

Is there anybody know what error could be?
where is documentation to find the SYSTEM-E-ACCVIO detail description?

Thanks very much

Lionle

Lionel,

This is a very frequent error. It means that the program try to access a part of memory and have no rigts to do so. The accessing memory can be read only and the program is trying to write to it. Or that part can not be even read in the current process mode. This error, most times, means bad programming.

To get more informations, try:

$ HELP/MESSAGE ACCVIO

Lionel,

For information on condition values returned by programs, routines, et alia, consult the "OpenVMS System Messages: Companion Guide for Help Message Users" at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6023/6023pro.html

Btw, a SYSTEM-E-ACCVIO is strange, it should be a SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, and all the directives (!XB, !XH, etc.) should have been replaced with something meaningful.
Access violation is a severe or fatal error, not a simple error. ACCVIO normally had the value 12 (decimal), SYSTEM-E-ACCVIO would indicate that the program returned a value of 10 (decimal), also the NONAME-W-NOMSG indicates that the program returns something (in this case a value of 0) that is unknown to VMS. Have a good look at the app, something is definitely wrong.

the ACCVIO condition code is being reported indirectly. Normally you would see a stack traceback. However some system services will return ACCVIO as a return status if they are passed data by reference they can't access.

Could the full error report be in a log file somewhere?

Lionel,

Could it be that you have two (2) ITRC profiles?

Hi Lionle,

FYI, We had this problem starting around October of last year and eventually after much mucking around with Cognos, they supplied us with a patch.

Additionally we have found we needed to recompile the QTPs we were having problems with.

I suggest you contact Cognos support and see if it applies to you and whether you can get a copy.

Cheers,
