Application GBLSEC_MISMATCH error?

» close window

The Question is:

 
A system information error message is showing up in a journal file from a
users application.
The message is: system-i-gblsec-mismatc.  The default value for gblsections
is 240 and we
have our set at 600.  Should we up this value and see if it takes care of
the error message?
It is only one particular application that is receiving the message.
 
Thanks.
 

The Answer is :

 
  "system-i-gblsec-mismatc" is not a valid OpenVMS message.
 
  When asking questions of the Wizard, please include the exact message
  text displayed.  Do not abbreviate or truncate the message -- error
  message text can be similar, but the underlying problem(s) indicated
  by these similarly-worded messages can be quite different.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard would not assume that a "mismatc" error would
  be resolved by increasing the number of global sections permitted.
 
  See HELP/MESSAGE as a starting point.  Similar messages include:
 
    GBLSEC_MISMATCH,  global section type does not match service called
    IDMISMATCH,  ident mismatch with existing global section
    SYSVERDIF,  system version mismatch - please relink
    SYSVERCHK,  system version mismatch - function aborted
    SHRIDMISMAT,  ident mismatch with shareable image
    TYPMISMCH,  library type mismatch
    EOFMISMATCH,  end-of-file position mismatch for 'file-spec'
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard will assume that the error is GBLSEC_MISMATCH, and
  this would tend to point to an application programming error.  You
  will want to determine what application call is generating this error,
  and if the specific operation and error handling is appropriate.
 
  This may also be a case where the application is simply returning
  a bogus status value as its exit status, and no actual error
  condition exists.
 
  Please contact the Compaq customer support center for assistance in
  debugging this application, if necessary.
