VA COBOL SORT

[cobp]

Hi,
I have posted the same question in Visual Age Solutions.
----

I have a proble with Visual Age COBOL Sort.

See the program call sequence given below.

MAIN(EXE)->SUB1(DLL)->SUBIO(DLL)

SUB1 is invoked from MAIN multiple times, SUBIO is the module that handles file operations and SORTS for multiple files. The problem is that if SUB1 is invoked multiple times(say >100) the application terminates during the execution without showing any error. If it is invoked lesser nr. of times(say 10), it would be fine.
I found the problem is in SUBIO, SORT that uses i-o procedures. After removing each the SORT from SUBIO,the situation became better. Finallly, I could replace the COBOL SORTs with a C routine. Now application runs without a crash.
Any body faced such a problem in COBOL SORT? Thanks

Hi,

perhaps it is a kind of carbage-problem. Maybe you can create a work-around by canceling the called module now and then.
