Thanks Mark,

First I'd heard of the "Debug memory manager"...sounds like just the
ticket...

Hi, Charles,

This could possibly help:

You need to download the associated .pdf document with the link (button)
at the bottom of that page.

Hope that helps,

All,

We have what appears to be memory corruption happening, trying to track
down where's its occurring.

Question: if we set a watch break point on the DS being corrupted, will the
the job actually break? Or do watch break points only apply to the change
made by code in the module where the variable is declared?

I've never tried it, but it was my suggestion....now I'm questioning the
idea.

In the past, I've been able to look at the (non-prototyped or duplicated
PR) calls to find a parameter mismatch.

Anybody got any other tips / tricks for finding the cause?

Thanks!
Charles
