RE: Pointer not set for location referenced.

Eric, if you are still experiencing this problem... (my stab in the dark..)
I was thinking that it may have something to do with the passing of the
external database.  You are clearing before passing it.  But doesn't that
throw junk data into the numeric fields?  Are there numeric fields in that
external database?  I'm not sure if you are getting the same error message
that I received awhile ago but it sounds familiar.  Thoughts anyone?

D External   E DS         Inz

 /Free

   Reset External;
   result = calledProc(external);

 /End-Free

   Scott,

   Since I know that I am not calling a RCLRSC, it would not surprise me it
   MAPICS is doing it somewhere in their job stream.  I will try changing
my
   program(s) to a named activation group and see if that solves the
   problem.

   Thanks...

   Eric
