RMS-E-RSA, record stream currently active

Re: RMS-E-RSA, record stream currently active

John,

I have changed my program. Since 28.06.2010 the open/close is removed (see attachment). The same error occurred at 30.06.2010

Add /DUMP to your RUN/DETACHED command.

What does "baur$bewbckclose" do?

Looking at the code, it appears the error can only have resulted from the WriteLn of "BSTR Shutdown" at the end of the program.

I wonder if the exit handler has anything to do with it? I can't see how it would result in the error you have, but your exit handler looks a bit odd. What is lvs_stckdmp? If exitstatus is already the same as lvs_stckdmp, then it will be returned as R0, and effectively signalled anyway. I'd also prefer to see the exit status examined as the parameter to the exit handler, rather than an uplevel reference.

Simple stylistic issue, since you're always adding date and time stamps to the output, rather than repeat the same code in numerous places, I'd pull out the WriteLn calls into a routine, say "LogMsg":

PROCEDURE LogMsg(str:VARYING OF CHAR);
VAR dstr, tstr : PACKED ARRAY [1..11] OF CHAR;
BEGIN
DATE(dstr); TIME(tstr);
WriteLn(dstr,' ',tstr,str);
END;

PROCEDURE DbgMsg(str:VARYING OF CHAR);
BEGIN
IF dbgFlag
THEN
LogMsg(str)
END;
END;

Then call it like:

if sc.sc$w_phase<>sc$c_internphase then
begin
DbgMsg(' warte auf Trigger');
end;
end; {not(lvs$ifbrk)}
{schlie├Г e backup datei}
baur$bewbckclose;
LogMsg(' BSTR shutdown');

Places where you want to include decimal values are easily dealt with using concatenation and the formatting routines, like DEC:

DbgMsg(' keine Arbeit in SP='+DEC(sc.sc$w_phase));

By decluttering the program you may find it easier to spot inconsistencies. You also make it much easier to do stuff like closing and reopening the file, if that's what you really need to do, since it's all in one place. Consistency in things like message formats is enforced.

The other trick you can do by abstracting the log message function is easily switch to a different output file. Perhaps the issue is something corrupting the internal Pascal structure for OUTPUT?

Re: RMS-E-RSA, record stream currently active

John,

thank you very much for your suggestions. I have change my program accordingly.

I have also added the /dump qualifier. I need some help to analyse the dump file. Please, can you give me some hints.

The last crash is in line 590 of bstr. This line contains the statement writeln(...,'trigger empfangen'). The problem occured during normal work of the server process bstr. Nobody has stopped the server process bstr. In my opinion the problem will not be found in the exit handler.

The Rtn. baur$bewbckclose will close a backup file of the server process bstr.

The Rtn. bstr_shutdown is the exit handler of the server process bstr. With sys$forcex() and status equal lvs__stckdmp it is possible to trigger the server process bstr. When this trigger is received the process will lib$signal(lvs__stckdmp) and I got a traceback info before bstr will stop.
