We have a customer who upgraded their 4GL and engine: They were previously at: Solaris 5.6 IDS 7.23.UC2 I4GL 6.04.UC1 They upgraded to: Solaris 5.7 IDS 9.20.UC1 (Foundation 2000) I4GL 7.30.UC1 Now they are encountering core dumps in the 4GL application when previously they were not encountered. As anyone encountered any problems with this combination? We haven't as yet analyzed exactly where in the code the core dumps happens, but wondered if anyone else has encountered this problem. Thanks in advance for any help! Candy -- Candy McCall ONLINE Computing, Inc. (candym@olcinc.com)

Some of the things I've noticed with the newer version of 4gl: 1. Make sure that all variables are initialized. 2. Variables defined as floats may cause problems. 3. The one that bit me was in the 'report' section. I ran a calculation as part of a 'print' statement. Somehow the newer 4GL doesn't like it.
