Need help with HP Unix - to analyze a core dump file

[Palaniappan Mahadevan]

Mine is a intranet application called Automatch and when a scheduled batch process (fetching data from a DB and creates a flat file) ran, A core dump file was created in the HP Unix machine. Since then this current process and the process following it were not working. This has occured in one of our Production servers.
My resuirement is: I have the core dump file with me. I am not sure or aware of deciphering the file. It would be of great help if the reason for the failure of the process is identified.
1) Can anyone help me in analysing the core file
2) Where can I find tips to decipher/understand the core file.
Attached is the core file for your reference.

fyi attached core file is not available : probably too large to attach !

run the command "file core" is a starter but far better to use gdb or similar to debug : v.good tips here ->
