RE: No source but i have object in my system,array index error

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Murali,

The answer to your question really can't be determined without looking at
the source.  Somewhere in your program you have an array with an assigned
number of values and the program is using an index to that array which is
outside of that range of values.  It's as though you had the twelve months
of the year and you asked your program to locate the name for the thirteenth
month.

If this program runs regularly without error, then you can assume that the
index value is either coming from file input or the parameter you are
passing.  Perhaps if you respond to the message with a 'D' you can find some
clues in the dump which will help you track it back.  If you know what the
array represents and what the index is, you may be able to figure whether
you have bad data in the file or the parameter is in error.
