The Question is:
What is the correct way to run an executable from a command procedure?
I am currently experiencing problems when trying to do it. The program works
fine when manually running the program but produces a stack dump (pas$rtl???)
when ran from the command procedure.
Please help.
The Answer is :
The program likely contains a bug, probably either based on an
(erroneous) assumption on the command input or potentially based
on (if run in batch) differences in the process quotas.
Use the traceback information (stackdump) from the error with the
compiler listings and the LINKER map file to locate the specific
error, and then work backwards from the error to locate the trigger.
You can also use the DBG$DECW$DISPLAY logical name or various other
redirections to bring up the application running under the OpenVMS
debugger, and running within the command procedure environment.
The debugger can then be used to determine the actual run-time
operation of the application, and to compare this behaviour with
the intended operation of the application.
