Is the Program Ending Unexpectedly?

If the program is ending unexpectedly, the cause is likely an unhandled exception. An unhandled exception is a failure to handle memory correctly. It is an easy problem to track down if it is happening in the same place: simply set breakpoints at strategic points throughout the code and run the program until you find the problem.

If other objects are missing, termination is more abrupt. Remember to transfer all Media Object (also called Generic Text) objects correctly. If an application has a Row exit to an application that does not exist, an unhandled exception in the program occurs immediately.

Termination of the program is more abrupt and less helpful when other kinds of objects are missing. You must review all of the pieces of the application to verify that they are all present and correctly built. A common error is to overlook media objects. If you cannot enter the program at all, a missing object is most likely the problem.

Ensure that the program is terminating in the same place. If the program is failing to restore memory after its use, the program might eventually have insufficient memory to run. If so, you must reboot the workstation to restore memory.
