Subj:   Re: Running OS Commands from within an mload script
 
From:   Duane Angle

I have no idea what's causing this problem. Its interesting that you are getting the same thing, though. The very same script I was running and failing with was able to run successfully on a different server, so I came back to the original server and I cut an mload script down to just:

.logon xxxx;
.SYSTEM 'command' ;
.LogTable tablename;
....
.LOGOFF ;

and the script ran fine. I went out and stripped all the changes out of the script and ran it - it still have me the core dump. I got a backup of the old script and reloaded it and ran it. It ran fine. I ran a "diff" between the new and the old scripts - no differences. Hmmm. I added my changes back in one at a time running the script each time I added a new line until I got back to the exact same script that was failing - it ran without error. I have no idea on this one. I've never seen anything like this that wasn't running under some flavor of "Windows".

I get more nervous when its just an anomaly because if it just starts failing in production, I'll have no clue how to fix it. Yuck! I really appreciate the help in working through this one, though. I like the idea of an "incident" with NCR. Maybe they can shed some light on the whole situation if this had been reported before. I'll report back on this if I get an worth-while feedback.

Thanks again!
