Incomprehensible error messages

#1 08-20-2008, 05:38 PM

Quite some times, the errorlog yields an error+description which
doesn't make sense at all. For example:

Error Code: 1 [ ]
Subsystem: BASE
Operation: NULL_ARRAY
Function: ARRAYGET
Argument: 107
Argument Number: 1
CallStack:

and this is the line:

IF odbjPost:SEEK(cDagboek+cJaar+cBoekstuk) .OR. lAppend

It happens now and then and I see no reason why anything is wrong with
the database or the 3 character and 1 logic protected variables...or
the if statement...

So I wonder seeing an error like this:

What has this line to do with arrayget? There's no array involved at
all.
What is "argument: 107"
What can be wrong here?

Any comments are welcome...

My guess

Wrong parameter type passed to ArrayGet()
Eg
xResult := ArrayGet( 107 )
possibly should be
xResult := ArrayGet( anArray, 107 )

It's probably happening the the Seek() method, you might peruse the SDK
and/or the RDD API source to see if it uses arrays internally.

Maybe caused by a bit of corrupt memory or the GC kicking in or the user
holding the mouse in an inappropriate way.

As I said - a guess.

Still I don't understand how arrayget can be involved. I've checked if
it could be possible that the first paramater is assigned an array
instead of a string. In all cases, the ocombobox:value is assigned and
this is a string. But even - suppose I would send an array, where is
the arraget function coming from then in the errorlog when I use a
seek? I don't use it anywwhere in my application and it isn't used in
the whole RDD SDK.

I've seen this quite to often and think that the errorlog stuffs half
of it's output with random functions...

This error used to happen frequently in 2.6 and was caused by repo. Try a repo
reindex and touch. I see it when getting a ClassList() and ocurred internally
in CAVO functions. Give it a try.

The internals of the RDD may use arrays and that is where the error is
raised - might have nothing to do with *your* code use - memory corruption
(assuming that's what's causing it) can happen anywhere in the app.

You don't have the whole source to the RDD API (the SDK (VO source) is only
a wrapper around the system RDD DLLs) so how do you know.

Is this ERROR happening on a single machine or lots of machines??
Which OS is used on these machines, memory, etc...
