Subject: [C400-L] Program ends, no messages, logs, etc
I am running a program that does a real quick and easy call to system(). I get no output that the program ends, except from a printf I do right before the call to system. Im expecting to get some
When a program dies abnormally on the iSeries (for ILE/C) you don't get a core dump as such, what you get is either a nice CPF/MCH error message in the job log or on the status line.

Did not get either. None of my messages say "abnormally:" It's wierd because I have the same system call in a stand alone program and it works fine. But in this application that does the call, the parent program ( ie, that invokes the system call ) terminates. The parent program invokes the system call in a thread, but I dont' think that would have made a difference, nor should it kill the parent when the thread does a pthread_exit();

Have you put a printf() after the call to system() to see if you get that outputted too?

Yes and that doesn't happen. I do this:

print("Going to do the system call");
status = system(string);

printf("Going to check status" );
if ( status < 0 ) {

}
