Oracle Precompiler(Pro*C) issue in Oracle816 under HPUX 110

[Vipul]

Hi,
I am facing very peculiar probelm.My Pro*C code was running fine under hpux and oracle805.
Recently I shifted the same pro*C batch programms under hpux 110 (64 bit) and Oracle 816.Though the code is compiled sucessfully but they give core dump at runtime.

1. Is that any flag available in HPUX as we have in SUN SOLARIS name LD_PRELOAD which is used to take care of null referencing valid?

2. Is that a issue that my HPUX 110 is 64 bit for that is it necessary to have Oracle816 (64 bit) version only?

3. What can be done to make NULL referncing/handling valid under these environment?

I am in need pls do Help me.

Thanks in Advance,
Vipul

This is a very difficult problem.

You havent said wether Oracle805 was running on hpux 1020 or 11-32bit ? or if your running 11-32 or 11-64bit now ?

Anyway, you can definitely have problems moving C code from 1020 to 11-64bit if your code does anything complex with the kernel or architecture, as these have changed quite a lot under 11-64. If your code doesnt do anything complex then it should transfer over fine.

Have you tried using xdb to diagnose your core files to see where your code is crashing ??

Have you tried reinstalling Oracle (all elements of) and relinking it all then recompiling your code ?
