Isolate the values being passed to the C routine. Check for: Buffer sizes that are too small. Missing null terminators. Incorrect pointer references. Start by ensuring your environment is configured to
If you are seeing the dreaded error in your COBOL application, you aren't alone. This specific "Runtime System Error" is a classic sign of memory corruption. Unlike standard crashes where you can simply check a variable's value, memory corruption often hides its tracks, making traditional debugging difficult. What Causes RTS 115? Check for: Buffer sizes that are too small
Who is your ? (e.g., software developers, hobbyists, or general readers)
Add this routine to your COBOL code immediately before the call to the suspected C routine. This captures the state of the system before the corruption happens.
RTS 115 is a "smoke alarm" for memory issues. By capturing the system state right before the call to external code, you can pinpoint the corruption and restore stability to your application. To tailor this blog post, please tell me: What is the or text inside the RTS0115 file?
