Re: [WDSCI-L] RE: webfacing run failure

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is "Pointer not set for location referenced" the next message 
just reports that this one happened. Take F1 on this message, then F9 to 
see what programs/procedures are involved. If they are IBM, call support. 
If one of yours, it's often indicative that a parameter was not passed. 
Other things can cause this, as well.

This does not necessarily have anything to do with PTFs. It means that some 
program was trying to use a variable that was not initialized or that does 
not really exist, or more specifically, that a pointer exists that has not 
been assigned a memory address. The easiest way for this to happen is not 
to pass a parameter that is pass by reference (pointer).
