Ok, I have a solution for my problem but it sounds a bit stupid.
The original code was:
.
.
.
temp = CREATE_STRUCT(temp, 'FLAG', '')
temp = CREATE_STRUCT(temp, temp.prog_params)
temp = delete_tag(temp $
, ['TIME','CALLING_SEQUENCE','INFO_STRUCT', 'PROG_PARAMS',
'MISSING_VALUE'])
.
.
.
ERROR: ARRAY HAS A CORRUPTED DESCRIPTOR
CHANGED TO:
.
.
.
prog_params=temp.prog_params
temp = delete_tag(temp $
, ['TIME','CALLING_SEQUENCE','INFO_STRUCT', 'PROG_PARAMS',
'MISSING_VALUE'])
temp = CREATE_STRUCT(temp, 'FLAG', '')
temp = CREATE_STRUCT(temp, prog_params)
.
.
.
I have tried to separate the failure into a small routine without
success. All smaller routines
based on data stored to sav files are good. In one of the child routines
is execute used so I believe
this is making trouble on AIX.
The same progam runs good on Linux and Win NT.
