Execution error : file 'rm1p0018' error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0 114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11)

Question

When I ran a script on HP-UX server then I am getting below error. Script is calling one executable file( rm1p0018 ) which made by cobol file.

Here is the error message from the log:

Execution error : file 'rm1p0018'

Recently oracle database was migrated from HP-UX to AIX server with the upgraded version of 10g from 9i.

Intially application and DB both were resides on HP-UX server but now application is resides on HP-UX and DB is resides on AIX server.

Can someone help me out on this issue.

A little bit hard to guess the cause of this memory violation. If you are able to recompile the Cobol program, I advice you to trace it using "ready trace." statement along with $set trace directive. You will be able then to have a trace of all cobol paragraphs executed and deduce the one where the program stopped and raised the error.
