Why does my script end at "PicLoad(PicFile)"?

[ChaosYeti]

It got a bit better!
Now it's 1 of 3 times it strikes...
Actually I'm not really wanting to put my whole tdr online "for everybody" - can I mail it to someone?

I reduced my tdr to one sheet (which I only used) for upload, but with that one worked so far everytime with the script, without mistake.
I'll reduce my template and see if that helps, too.

Hi Yeti,

Feel free to email your TDR to brad.turpin@ni.com.  DIAdem R&D has agreed to take a look at it and see if they can figure out the issue for us.

Hello I know this message has been out there a while but I would like to know if a solution was ever found.  I am having a similar issue that I need to get rid of. 

Thanks,

Hi Eli_A,

I don't remember how this issue ended-- it was over 3 years ago.  It helped with the previous customer for him to post/send his error log file-- would you please do the same?

Hi Brad,

Below you will find the pertinent content of the error file:

296  10:17:59 AM Error:
     Error while executing "PicLoad" command
     Error type: ACCESS VIOLATION
     Error address: 0000F1B3
     Module name:ntdll.dll

The curious thing is when I run my application which includes this script for the first time with a unit that passes I receive this error.  If I turn around and run the application again everything runs well, no errors.  I find that if I call the application for the first time with a unit that fails it works every time.  If I load the form manually and run a unit that passes I do not get the error and it works.

Here is another monkey wrench.  If I open the environment and load all the data into the channel groups and run the script using the debug/continue script button without any breakpoints it works correctly,  but if I open the environment and load all the data into the channel groups and run the script using the run script button it doesn't work.  Is there a difference between the two ways of running the script that may be helping or hurting?

Hi Eli_A,

I do not understand what is going on, but let me recommend that you try adding this command before any other REPORT commands in your script:

Call WndShow("REPORT", "OPEN")

Let me know if that helps,

Hi Brad,

First I want to thank you for your help.  Your suggestion proved valuable.  I took the code you suggested and place it above the “PicLoad” command.  It did not work, but I decided to use it as a tool.  I started moving it up my code until it worked hoping this would point to the sub-routine that was causing the problem and it did.  At one point it started to work.  I then looked into that subroutine and what I found was somewhat surprising.  The problem turned out to be a simple (or not so simple) data type conflict.  I was placing a string time stamp into a channel that was had a time data type.  I had commented out the statement “On Error Resume Next” so that I would expose any errors but none were generated for that error.  Once I converted the string into a time base data type everything work and did not need your suggestion.  Again I want to thank you for your suggestion for without it I would not have been able to determine the cause of the problem.
