IDL unexpectedly exits with 'Killed' message
Hello all, this one is new to me... I am having a strange error occur when running some code. during runtime, IDL exits and the only message i get is simply 'Killed'. Does anyone know what this error is? I have never seen it before and haven't been able to track down any info on it. Thanks, Steve

Is a system dialog being presented with the text or is this message at the command line/console? Are you executing Runtime IDL, with a SAVE file? If so, do you have access to the source, and can you locate "Killed" in the source? This isn't something that the IDL product by itself produces, that I am aware of. It's more likely coming from the OS or from logic within a runtime application. Jim P.

I wrote this .pro file myself, so I can assure you that there is nothing in code that is explicitly causing this to happen. I am reading some HDF files and creating some rather large lists from the data being read, and I wonder if that is causing this. Otherwise I am not doing anything I haven't done a thousand times before.

Check your log files for OOM messages. regards, Lajos
