In the last few weeks I have just started using the rtingres application
generator abf.  On several occassions I have experienced the following
problem:
I have recently created a new application and it contains a few frames. 
When I select go from the application definition window.  An executable
image is built, with no obvious problems, and then I am prompted for the
name of a frame to run.  I enter the name of one of my frames, and I am
told that it is undefined! This happens for all of the frames in the
application. 
If I play around a little (deleting the first frame created in the
application, then quitting from abf, going back into abf, then trying go
from the application definition frame again) I can usually get go to
find my frames.  As yet I haven't worked out any pattern as to when go
in the application definiton menu is able to find frames, and when it
isn't.  
We are running RTI INGRES V5.0/01 (sun.u42/05), on a small network of
Sun 3s running SunOS 4.0.1.  INGRES/NET is used to access the database
form the diskless clients.  The above problem occurs on the server and
on the clients.
Any help greatly apreciated.
Thanks, Paul Ashton.

The symptoms you describe are exactly consistent with this. You'll need 5.0/04a (sun.u42/07). The root of the problem , I believe, is that sun changed the setjmp() semantics in 4.0. -edg-
