Can you post the prototype and D spec of the procedure?

Subject: Pointer not set for location referenced.

   To the list,
   I have looked through the archives but cannot seem to find an
explanation
   for what is occuring.  Here it is:
    
   My users are receiving this error MCH3601 Pointer not set for
location
   referenced on different programs during the day.  All the programs
are
   using modules of a service program to retrieve a single record from a
   file.  Each module is being passed the external datastructure of the
file
   to be retrieved and the datastructure is being cleared and the key
fields
   are being reset before each execution of the module.  They pretty
much all
   look something like this:
    
   /free
   ...
   clear carrier;
   carrier.id = ordcarrier;
   carrier = RtvCarrier (carrier);
   ...
   /end-free
   Every once-in-a-while, the error appears when attempting to execute
the
   RTVCARRIER statement. After receiving the error message, the users
sign
   off and back on again and all is fine.  None of the modules have
changed
   and new modules are added to the end of the SRVSRC BND
   member. The programs that are "calling" the modules are compiled with
the
   ACTGRP(*CALLER) 
    
   Any suggestions as to where to focus my attention would be greatly
   appreciated...
    
   TIA,
   Eric A. Wolf
