SYMPTOMS

You receive the following access violations when you use the Import COBOL wizard of the COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS (COMTI) Component Builder (CB).
The instruction at "0x6c117061" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".

-and-

'Unhandled exception in ComponentBuilder.exe (DTCOB390.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation.

CAUSE

The COBOL program used for processing with the wizard is incomplete. It contains statements belonging to the program's WORKING-STORAGE SECTION followed by a LINKAGE SECTION statement, an 01 DFHCOMMAREA statement, and finally, a PROCEDURE DIVISION statement and PROCEDURE DIVISION contents. However, the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION contents are not preceded by a WORKING-STORAGE SECTION statement.

WORKAROUND

Use the entire COBOL program source with the wizard or use a text editor to remove all the COBOL statements contained in the source that are not required for defining the COMTI component library. Start the CB, and use the modified COBOL source with the wizard.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0 Service Pack 2.
