error message text not found

This looks like the message that appears when the code is trying to call an error code that doesn't exist in msgmnt. Perhaps the program needs to be recompiled, or maybe a patch or code change was incompletely promoted (maybe the code was promoted, but not the metadata)? Try recompiling first.

If a regular recompile doesn't work, you could try compiling the PO220 with the "-T" parameter, which will then cause the log to show every section the code hits - so one of the last sections displayed would be the "problem" area. However, this will create a very large log, so you will want to limit the data selection as much as you can. We don't use PO220, so I'm not sure how reasonable that is.

Good Luck!

Thanks Woozy, we will give that a try.

Brian, that error typically indicates a memory overrun. I've seen it in two cases, first when a program internally overruns an array size indicating a logic error in the code. In that case you should submit a case to Lawson/Infor and work with them to duplicate it. Second is when a program generates a work file that is just huge and the compiler/COBOL runtime can't handle it. I'm guessing that your user ran PO220 for ALL PO's in the entire company, used an attribute list that was really large or something like that. Have them send you a screen shot of the parameters they used on PO220.

Thank you John
