I found this error a week or two ago (version 9.0.2) and opened up a case with Sage. In the interim, the issue is in VALMSKCAL and it's calculating screen sizes (or something). On line 916, if the value of BLC_X(B) exceeds 255, you get the crash. (As a mere customer I don't have all the source code, so I have no idea where BLC_X is declared or why it behaves this way.) To deal with this I essentially cap it at 255. I have no idea what doing this does to the screen, but it validates and the screen seems okay. My modified code is below:



Local Integer BLXX

For B=1 To BLC_NBR

BLXX = 1+sum(LARGE(1..BLC_NOC(B)-1))

If BLXX >255
BLC_X(B) = 255
Else
BLC_X(B) = BLXX
Endif

BLC_Y(B) = 1+sum(HAUT(1..BLC_NOL(B)-1))

Next B

where did you insert this code?

I didn't insert it, I modified that portion of VALMSKCAL.src. In the original, all of the BLXX parts would go away, and you'd see a line: BLC_X(B) = 1+sum(LARGE(1..BLC_NOC(B)-1))

The Sage support guy dropped that source code on the server for tinkering purposes. I don't have the clean original.

could you send me a copy of the modified or new compiled valmskcal.src, my email is [email protected]

Hi,
i have the same issue with PU9.0.3. Can you also send me a copy of the compiled valmskcal.src. My email is [email protected]
Thanks

Hello,

The root cause of this issue is possibly one or more of the data types like DES data type was changed from Standard, and that makes the screen to be bigger than the limit.

So instead of changing VALMSCKCAL the suggestion is to find out what data type is causing the issue and reach out to your developer who had change the data type.
