  Moving applications between OpenVMS Alpha and VAX? 
 The Question is:
 
i'm having problems porting a large c++ app
from alpha to a vaxstation 4000. it compiles cleanly and links okay but
fallsover when running. I suspect some type of memory problem (maybe some
system partameters too low) but dont really know what to try changing.  Any
help would be appreciated....
 
 The Answer is:
 
  There is nowhere near enough information here to begin to address this
  question -- resolving these problems typically requires access to the
  source code pool and often to the target (failing) system.
 
  Please see the existing discussions here in Ask The Wizard around the
  debugging of application synchronization problems -- while the VAXstation
  4000 is not an SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) system, the same basic
  considerations apply across all platforms supported by OpenVMS.
 
  If you have dependencies on SYSGEN parameters, then the Wizard would
  assume you will want to consider an application enhancement -- check
  the settings.  If you are using calls such as sys$creprc or sys$crembx
  and not specifying an entire list of quotas, the Wizard would consider
  an enhancement.  If you have specific SYSGEN system quota requirements
  and are not verifying the settings at application (or system) startup,
  the Wizard would consider an enhancement.
 
  Other basic checks -- such as checking the status return values from
  each and every call -- are mentioned in the existing synchronization
  considerations discussion present here in Ask The Wizard.
