Re: Interpreting Symbolic dump

Hi Ram,

It looks like your program wants to read from address 0000000A (which under VMS is strictly forbidden).
This is clearly a programming error. Did you by any chance pass something to a routine by value instead of by reference? It looks like that to me.

Hope this helps,

Ram,

If it's possible, could you post the source of your program?
Also, you can build a debug version of your program ( CC/NOOPT/DEBUG & LINK/DEBUG ).
And if you run your program then, the symbolic debugger comes along, and you can step through the program line by line and see where it goes wrong.

Re: Interpreting Symbolic dump

I would have liked to attach the code but I cannot do that. But I shall certainly try creating the debug script.

Re: Interpreting Symbolic dump

If running the program with the VMS Debugger then SET BRE/EXCEPTION will stop and allow you to see where in your program is ACCVIO occours.
