hi robert,

I'm as confused as you're

i dunno pli ... jus been putting the things i'm interpreting.

i want only why the program is abending @ this place?

As with the inputs thing .... please NVM

S0C4 is the problem with addressing. You are trying to do read/write operation where memory is not available/accessible.

As it is said, no need to display pointer value. Please the check bounds of offending array.

rakesha.hg · Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2009 12:38 pm

yup i got that,

Can you help me with this variable?

enrico-sorichetti · Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2009 3:07 pm

why You keep mixing two issues....
You are confusing people trying to help You

if You dunno PLI ask Your management to give You proper training

looks You are posting the hex from an ispf edit screen..

If you want to know why something is abending, ASK ABOUT THE ABEND!!! Don't ask about how to display a variable value unless you want to know how to display the variable value. If you think the variable value is causing the abend, great. But don't expect us to read your mind and know that's why you want to know about displaying the value -- we don't know you've got an abend.

In order to look at the S0C4 abend, it would be nice to see the message generated, and anything else about the output. S0C4 is an addressing problem as mentioned earlier -- and that is typically a pointer out of range, subscript out of range, program being called that isn't available (etc, etc). But without seeing at least the error message information, there's not much we can do to help. And don't attach the output, use BBcode as not everyone can download attachments.

hi robert,

putting skiplists .... i've arrived that my program is abending @ the variable i previously posted ...

As with displaying the pointer value .... first day of my pli ... i thought it was a pointer, so asked for it .... instead of starting a new thread, i continued in this post only ...

now i know ... in such scenarios, ill post a new thread

Definitely starting a new thread reduces confusion! However, to help with an abend we do need the data I mentioned above.

hi robert,

i've shown the value displayed(hex on)...

can i know, which other data you're referring to?

enrico-sorichetti · Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2009 8:35 pm

Hi Rakesha!

I have gone thru the program posted as an attchment...

finally something quite interesting ,
different from the usual how to delete duplicates, how to write a record, ...

thank for posting it, but...

1 - the program contains company sensitive know how ( I deleted it )
2 - its too complicated to be debugged from a forum
3 - and for a beginner also

ask Your peers to guide You thru the logic

the operation on the pointed to array is a char comparison
the only hints might be ,
an uninitialized pointer ....(21)
or the array index out of bounds
