Re: Permanent I/O Error occured to DSPF

[Bryce Martin <BMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've seen this error here 2 times in the last day.  The cause of it was 
that the screen was trying to display a hex value that wasn't a valid 
character for display.  One time we somehow had it get into one of the 
notes files and the other time I was trying to display an 80A field that 
was actually an array of 3.0 packed data.  The dspf didn't know how to 
handle the hex that was sent and I got this error.

I would check the fields in the files that you are using to populate this 
screen.  You might have a bad bit somewhere.  You can try to do a DSPPF 
then F10 to see the over/under view of Hex and ASCII.  If the hex value is 
non displayable in ASCII then it will show up as a little solid colored 
block.  If you see one of those in a regular characte field then I would 
think you may have found your culprit.

That's just what we have encountered.  I hope this helps.
