Problem:
While attempting to compile a COBOL program to gnt on AIX, you receive an error similar to the following:
# cob -u -C trace myprog.cbl
Execution error : file 'cdi2'
error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0
114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11)
cob32: error(s) in code generation: myprog.int
Resolution:
This problem can be caused by attempting to compile to gnt when the /proc filesystem is not mounted on AIX. Please ensure the /proc filesystem is correctly mounted, and try the compile again. You can determine whether the /proc filesystem is mounted by using the following command:
df -k
The following is a sample output from the above command. Notice that the /proc filesystem is listed:
