[U2] Universe just quits

I am having a very disconcerting problem. A long job I have been running, processing a large text file and then loading a Universe file, is simply quitting sometimes. No error message of any kind, Universe just quits, the session drops into unix. We have Universe 10.2 running over HPux 11.1. I

Does it make any sense to . execute LOGTO UPS open 'UPS' to F.UPS else null . write R.UPS to F.UPS... . . execute LOGTO METAL open

Re: [U2] UniBasic - Multiple Accounts

I haven't been following this thread so excuse me if 'm off in left field, but, wouldn't it be better just to set up a file pointer in the VOC that points to where you want to write rather than setting up an entire account and logging to it before you write? Jerry Banker -Original

Re: [U2] Universe just quits

Are you handling all potential I/O errors in your Basic code (e.g. ON ERROR, ELSE, LOCKED clauses on CLEARFILE, WRITE, READSEQ)? UV will often just drop out of a program if the errors aren't handled. Regards, Marc - Original Message - From: Oaks, Harold harold.o...@clark.wa.gov To:

Re: [U2] Universe just quits

Hi Marc: Curretly I'm doing nothing special with the error handling. I note that errors when running a BASIC program print some error and drop to Universe (TCL) level. However in this situation there is no error displayed and we drop entirely out of Universe, to unix. I can certainly try the ON

Barry: Thanks for resonding. The main activity is running thru text files (narratives), identifying the next word then updating a file (DEXNAR) used to cross-reference all the words. For example, in record ABC123 in the narrative field the next identified word is DECOMPOSING. I read the record

Re: [U2] Universe just quits

Suggestions: 1. Turn COMO ON before starting the job. This may catch something helpful. 2. Look at the UV error log to try and locate something at the time of the failure 3. How large are your text files? There may be a memory fault above a certain size (we get around that by using

Re: [U2] FW: Universe just quits

Hi Harold, Our system is UD, so YMMV, but we had issues with a process that would crash to ECL with no error message. We eventually traced the statement it crashed on to a WRITE (OSWRITE actually) that did not have an ON ERROR clause and would kill the process without warning. Lesson learnt.

Re: [U2] Universe just quits

In addition to what Laure mentions - using dynamic arrays to store lots of data can result in Available memory exceeded errors (resulting in UniVerse abnormally terminating). Just like if you're using READ/READU to read in large text/sequential files. -Original Message- From:
