I haven't touched OS/2 in 10 years (ok, I do have it running under OS/X
to run my Mayan Calendar program...), but back then the dump tools were
pretty much non-existent. I'm sure they've gotten better since then.

Re: Help - OS/2 consulting help needed

2005-06-08 Thread Richards.Bob
Shmuel,

I haven't a clue about dumps, traces, etc. I do know that IBM was contacted. 
The problem is in some of our bank branches and it forces them to reboot. I am 
only attempting to find a resource to look and fix the problem, not to fix it 
myself.

Thanks anyway,

Bob

How sure are you that those are resolvable without access to the
source code?

Have you taken any dumps[1] or traces? Have you contacted IBM? Have
you posted sa query on, e.g., comp.os.os2.bugs?

[1] I can help with that if you don't know how.

Hopefully to save you some time and money.  A 657 is a host name 
resolution problem.  It it seems that the 3270 emulator is setup to do 
TN3270 and either the host name or IP address configured for the TN3270 
Server is no longer valid.

If the host name/IP address is part of a PCOM session configuration it 
should take no more that a few seconds to change to the correct name 
address.

The other errors are TRAP-D. Same thing as 0C4 on MVS. Most likely a 
bad pointer. Usually there is a screen that pops up and shows enough
info to identify the failing instruction. Most OS/2 programmers that
I worked with would ignore it and try to run under a debugger or add
printfs to figure out the error.

Yes, but he also got a SYS3175 in two programs, and he'll need the
source code to fix those.

From the look of it, I am presuming its some kind of screen scrapping
application. I think host657 is due to sys3175 of the previous modules. I
would start with DIR /S /O-D to find the last accessed/updated files.
