ABORTS - abort messages given by C programs.

Description:

C programs loaded to run in batch may be aborted for various reasons,1 just like other GCOS batch programs. In addition, the C library may abort the program with the following codes:

User's 0K MME Gebort: The program was unable to obtain more memory from GCOS to satisfy a call to malloc (or to other memory allocators).
User's NS MME Gebort: A stack overflow has occurred, or the stack has been destroyed by an erroneous assignment.
User's NG MME Gebort: The library was unable to write the abort file to file code PM after an abnormal termination.
User's 0B MME Gebort: The user program called the "abort" function.

Abort files:

If a fault occurs in a program under TSS, the system writes a sequential file called "abrt" into the AFT. In Batch, the library will attempt to write an abort file to file code PM. This file should be a sequential permanent file. The library requires an extra 1K of memory to do this, and must get wrapup; therefore, the file is not always written successfully.

Either of these files may be examined with your favorite post-mortem debugger.
