The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q175487
BUG #: 17182 (Windows: 6.5)
SYMPTOMS
An unhandled exception error may occur in SQL Executive if the process exit
code from a CmdExec task is not between -9999 and 99999 (that is, if the
return code exceeds five positions when expanded with wsprintf). For
example, if the return value is 123456, SQL Executive will cause an access
violation (AV). The stack is corrupted and the only function on the stack
is ntdll!RtlAllocateHeap. You may also encounter the following error when
you try to start SQL Executive after receiving the AV:
SQLExecutive - DLL initialization failure Initialization of the dynamic
link library c:\windows\system32\user32.dll failed. The process is
terminating abnormally.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the return code in the range of -9999 and
99999.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
This problem is compounded by the fact that the user interface of SQL
Enterprise Manager lets you define a process exit code up to six characters
wide (in the range of -99999 and 999999).
