I have a multi threaded application. From within the main thread of this app i am calling a program which when it returns to the calling thread it returns to a point in the calling program no where near the place i called it from. I placed a "goback 0" right at the beginning of this program and then it returned to the proper line. I then took this "goback 0" and kept dropping it down in the code until it then returned again to the improper spot. I have narrowed it down to a perform where it simply reads a control (setup) file. If i insert the goback before the perform it returns to the proper location, however if i do the goback after this perform it returns to the calling thread in a totally unrelated section of code and then falls thru the code from that point forward.

Anyone out there run across a similar problem???

    This is an interesting incident.

    Please go ahead and send a demonstration program to support@acucorp.com, where the issue will be handled by the next available Technical Support Analyst, and will be able to perform further research into why this is happening, as the thread should return to the code area where it was started from.
