Thanks for the info BUT what kind of error will one see (i.e. does the
system crash or display a blink specific error message?)
and how would one fix a "blink" error?
thanks!

Blink is short for "Backward link". Two blocks of random memory that represent a
logically contiguous object that is <= two blocks large will have header data that point
to each other. The first will have a forward link to the second and a zero in the backward
link to indicate it's the first in the chain. The second will have a forward link of zero
(no more blocks) and a backward link to the first. If the second block does not point back
(is zero or references a different block), this implies that something has gone really,
really wrong with the memory management of the system.

I have a situation were I have a Prod box and a Dev Box both with Universe
installed.
On the Prod box we have a samba share that is pointing to the Dev box and we
have voc entries pointing to Dev files.
But when I execute a command such as: Copy from <file> to Test.<file>
The records will copy over to the Dev box, but it always results in a Blink
error.
Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?

Subject: [U2] Blink Error - Dictionary Related
A client is experiencing a blink error when using a certain I-descriptor in a
SORT, but not in a LIST or SELECT.
I can't copy the code into the post because of copyright purposes, but this is
the dictionary item:
0001: I
0002: IF CASE.PERSON.ID # "" THEN
SUBR("CJ.READ.PERSON",CASE.PERSON.ID,1,"") E
LSE ""
0003: S;*;"*** No Defendant ***"
0004: Defendant
0005: 30L
0006: S
The dictionary item referenced by the I-descriptor:
0001: A
0002: 1
0003: CASE.PERSON.ID
0004:
0005: M
0006:
0007:
0008:
0009: R
0010: 8
0011:
0012: COMMON
Attribute 1 should be single-valued but there are 27 records in this file that
have multiple values in this field. On our in-house system, we also have a
handful of records that have multiple values in this field, and I can't
recreate the problem here.
There are commons involved in the subroutine referenced by the I-descriptor.
This issue just came to me and the people who worked on it before did all of
the data related things I would have done: searched for control characters, fix
tool, deleted the file then recreated it, etc.
I don't know if I've provided enough information to explain the problem....but
has anyone seen this? If you've experienced an application-related blink error,
I'd be interested in hearing from you.
