If this were windows, I would throw "memory leak" out there. I've seen certain SELECT statements in Unidata "leak" - to the point the U2 PID eventually dies a very bad death back to the shell.
On windows, we can see this using process explorer. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Dan McGrath Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 6:24 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] FW: Universe just quits Hi Harold, Our system is UD, so YMMV, but we had issues with a process that would crash to ECL with no error message. We eventually traced the statement it crashed on to a WRITE (OSWRITE actually) that did not have an ON ERROR clause and would kill the process without warning. Lesson learnt. Don't assume it will always result in a error message being displayed on a crash. However, crashing to ECL/TCL is completely different to crashing to shell. I assume you run the program once already logged into Universe, not calling it through Universe from shell? -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Oaks, Harold Sent: Wednesday, 22 July 2009 7:55 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] FW: Universe just quits Hi Marc: Curretly I'm doing nothing special with the error handling. I note that errors when running a BASIC program print some error and drop to Universe (TCL) level. However in this situation there is no error displayed and we drop entirely out of Universe, to unix. I can certainly try the ON ERROR clause to see if something gets returned.

UV will often just drop out of a program if the errors aren't handled.
