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

What platform and version of IDL? 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,
Thanks for the input.
I'm running IDL 8.3 at the command line on Linux. 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.

Yep, looks like it was multiple large lists taking up all of the memory. Back to the drawing board.
Thanks,
Steve
