Re: Program looping

[Peter.Colpaert@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Steve,

we have discussed this in our team, but considering that this would mean that
for each error a dump will be generated, and the message queue wraps (over
15.000 errors before that happens IICR) that would be a bit overkill.

Maybe I can persuade our system guy to remove the default reply, forcing the
user to contact us when anything goes wrong (they _hate_ having to do that,
makes them feel stupid).

Greetz,

Hi Peter,

Can you not set the Auto response to the CPF Message to be other than "C"
..... Maybe "D" for a dump. Then you can review the DUMP File to expore the
problem.
