Universal Display File - Pointer Error When Opening File.

[Mark Smart]

Hi,

I have an RPG program which uses a Rich Display file to output a subfile.
Within the page onload event, a couple of javascript intervals are set.
One of them performs a pui.click() every minute, resulting in a page refresh, the second performs an ajax call to a utility function at 14 second intervals to refresh certain pieces of information.

When the first interval fires on 60 seconds and performs the pui.click(), it clears the existing intervals as part of the onSubmit event as they'll be re-created during the page refresh.

The second interval uses an ajax call to an RPG program which uses a Universal Display File to receive its parameters.
When I run the screen, and simply leave it running, the page refreshes and the ajax calls function in the correct manner. After an arbitrary length of time, the CGI job in the PROFOUNDUI HTTP server instance which is associated with the ajax call fails with a "pointer not set for location referenced" when trying to open the Universal Display File.

Pointer not set for location referenced.
Application error. MCH3601 unmonitored by UNIVERSAL at statement
0000000025, instruction X'0000'.
Error message CEE9901 appeared during OPEN for file PCKUTILSWS.
Function check. RNX1216 unmonitored by PCKUTILS at statement 0001000001,
instruction X'0000'.
Error message CEE9901 appeared during OPEN for file PCKUTILSWS (C S D F).

Digging into the job log, I found the following severity 40 error:

CPF24A3 Escape 40 22/09/15 09:18:38.198883 QMHSNDPM QSYS 0C77 QLEAWI QSYS *STMT

Cause . . . . . : The value 4, specified for call stack counter parameter,
is not valid. The value was specified in parameter number 7 on the API.
Recovery . . . : Correct the value for call stack counter parameter and
try the request again. This value must be greater than or equal to 0 but
cannot be larger than the number of entries on the call stack.

Any help in resolving this issue would be very much appreciated.

Best regards,

Mark

Also found this dump spooled file. It probably means more to you than it does to me.

If you can show us how to reproduce the problem on our server, we can determine the cause and fix it. Unfortunately, the error messages alone do not give us enough info, so... we do need to reproduce it.

I would suggest opening a support ticket by e-mailing support@profoundlogic.com

Scott,

I'll create a standalone instance and mail the source to support.

Thanks,

Mark
