[Download-List] Memory fault error - Colleague R18

[David L. Rotman]

Since DOWNLOAD is purely a Unidata/Universe application program,
I would look at configuration issues to resolve these kinds of
problems.  In Unidata, for example, you would want to make
sure the environment variable VFIELDSIZE is sufficiently
large to handle your virtual field.

Another possible cause for memory faults is some unintended
manipulation of the @ID and @RECORD variables.  A virtual
field may be calling a subroutine that modifies these variables
and another subroutine which expects the original values,
not the revised values.

I'd be glad to checkout particular examples to see if there
might be other causes that could be addressed within
DOWNLOAD.

I am testing the some download queries in R18.

 

On one of my queries I get a memory fault error.  I have rebuilt and
compiled all of the computed columns that are used in the download
statement.  

 

We are using Download version 7.21.
