Problem:
While running an interactive simulation package (called
BASILE, f.y.i.), I give the command parser a particular command
to read in a function definition from a file. Well, next thing
I know, my process has been DELETED! It's very consistent about
doing this to me.
What's probably happening here is that you're exercising a bug in a
routine which executes in executive mode, and are generating a non-fatal
bugcheck which results in your process being deleted. A couple of reasons
why this is happening come to mind: I've had corrupted ISAM files blow
processes off before, and I've had bugs in the image activator (SYS$IMGFIX,
SYS$IMGACT and SYS$IMGSTA) cause this to happen too, although it was a long
time ago ...
I'm not 100% sure (I've never had to look), but there may be an entry made
in the error log on this sort of thing ... look for bugchecks. Also, the
final status from the accounting file (if you have accounting turned on)
may lend some clue as to what went wrong.
