Hi Guru

If I run my project from the IDE I get a crash

What I can see (see attachment) is that the w_frame is drawn very small in the upper left corner.

After a few seconds a crash occurs.

directions?

Hi Gimmy,

PowerBuilder step-by-step debug until the crash occurs?

Best,

I concur with Marco.

First however, full rebuild. May fix issue if caused by compiled code out of sync during development.

Otherwise step-by-step debug until you hit code that makes window small - and later makes app crash.

Check the Library List to ensure completeness.

Do a full rebuild, as per Michael.

DEPLOY the application to generate the EXE.

Test it again.

If the code still abends, then NOW you can so a step-by-step DEBUG.


Good Luck,

Olan

Making a step by stap is very arduous in that the system goes into error at the beginning.

I tried to activate the trace (see image 1)

and the result is a file that the profiling cannot read (see image 2)

 

I enclose a trace file.

Is there a viewer of the generated file?

Any text editor/viewer can open a generated with /pbdebug.

PBDEBUG log file is just a long, long text file.

Log file flushes to disk at every write => app may appear slow.

After crash open logfile in any text editor that can handle large files. File may have > 100'000+ lines.

Scroll to end to find crash point.

Search upwards to unravel call stack when crash occurs.

Use that info to review code. Potentially set debug breakpoints and deep dive with debugger.

I´ve seen the exact same crash as described by Gimme happen many times in my applications.

After doing a full rebuild it's solved.
