This article explains an unexpected Signal 4 Error RTS 115 when running a COBOL/SQL application.

Problem:

When running a COBOL/SQL application which uses Oracle 10G and Server Express, we are intermittantly receiving RTS 115 unexpected Signal Error. Why is this?

Resolution:

Animating the application revealed that the error occured in a SQL statement. Analysis of the core dump using dbx stack trace indicates the error occurred in SQLBEX, an Oracle api routine. Upgrading the Oracle Client to the exact level to match the Oracle server corrected the error.

Note: For instructions on using the dbx trace refer to knowledgebase article 23886.
