3250.0. "Access violation when a Cobol PRG opens a RMS file" by ANNECY::GARUFI_D () Fri Jun 06 1997 08:40

    
    
    
Sometimes, we have a crash when a Cobol program opens a RMS file.
    
We used:

	- VAX OpenVMS V6.2 
	- DECFORMS DECforms V2.1-0 DS V3.9-110
	- VAX COBOL V5.3-40



It seems to be a Cobol version problem (VAX COBOL V5.3-42):

Here the problem:

%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=000001D0, P9
break on unhandled exception at PRGSIG000\STRUCTURE\P-INIT\%LINE 5264+127
  5264:         OPEN INPUT F_AI                 ALLOWING ALL.

The F_AI is a logical which refers to an existing RMS file:

SIG_R23>sh log f_ai
   "F_AI" = "DATADIR:AI.IDX" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
SIG_R23>dir DATADIR:AI.IDX

SIG_R23>dir/full DATADIR:AI.IDX

Directory BANKSYS:[DEVSIG.DATA.R23]

 Is someone have an idea ???

	> - VAX COBOL V5.3-40 There is a known problem with VAX COBOL V5.3-40 and RMS special registers that can cause a runtime ACCVIO on OPEN. That problem is fixed in VAX COBOL V5.4. There is also a TIMA kit (COBOLVAXE01053) with the fix (see note 2963.35). >It seems to be a Cobol version problem (VAX COBOL V5.3-42): If you still see a problem after installing either COBOLVAXE01053 or VAX COBOL V5.4, please post a pointer to a save set with the source file and any input data files that are needed to reproduce the problem.
