Re: CGIDEV2 and CGIDEBUG data area

Hi Bradley

you should look at the XXXDEBUG module. It starts with a global define of
CGIDEBUG dtaara the probably will fail if it doesn't exist in the
librarylist
and the wrtdebug procedure (that is called from many CGIDEV2 modules)
are invoked.

Als remember that it isn't nessecary the CGIDEV2 service program that
causes the failure since many other utilities has their own renamed version
of the CGIDEV2 service program.

Joe,

I double checked that all the data areas (which do exist in the CGI
library) were "0" or "off".

So it seems like an odd internal issue... another programmer suggested it
is possible happening during backups.. if backups have a lock on that data
area I could see it happening.. But the time is 10:46 and I don't think
they do backups then. ;)

I've not had issue with the debug functions with the exception that I
didn't realize the debug logs are on by default and the log constantly
writes known errors. If you didn't turn debug off it is probably
functioning and a program is missing the library with the data area is
my
guess. If any of these functions utilize ftp it could be an indicator

of

the programs involved. We discovered when utilizing ftp program calls
from external machines to the IBMi that the library list is

nonexistent

and has to be tweaked. QTEMP especially is handled differently in
placement in the list and has to be added. At least this is the
experience
we have had.

Subject: [WEB400] CGIDEV2 and CGIDEBUG data area
Date: Mon, Jun 20, 2016 11:07 AM

I have one system where the job log randomly spits out this error
about
25
times in a row (all in less than a second):

Data area CGIDEBUG in *LIBL not found.

Additional Message Information

Message ID . . . . . . : CPF1015 Severity . . . . . . . :

40

Message type . . . . . : Escape

Date sent . . . . . . : 06/20/16 Time sent . . . . . . :
10:46:55

Message . . . . : Data area CGIDEBUG in *LIBL not found.

Recovery . . . : Either correct the data area name or change the
library

name (DTAARA parameter). Then try the request again.

I've searched through every program and not found any reference to

any

of
the CGIDEBUG commands or settings as found here:
[1]http://www.easy400.net/cgidev2o/exhibiu5.htm

So it must be something internal. But it's not happening all the
time..
it's just random.

I haven't been able to recreate it yet but I am still trying
everything.
:)

I don't think it is a big issue as it's just a warning, but it's odd
that
it doesn't happen for every CGI program.

Any ideas would be great. I don't know if the yahoo group works
anymore
for support of CGIDEV2 but I did find the same question posted a few
years
back and they were just forwarded to the page I linked above. Not
much
help.
