i have a code module that was working fine,

I have had to add a section of code to it to place a database field of (up to) 1000 characters in 4 dot matrix report fields of flat 70 characters.

To do this I created a subroutine that would read the field in from the database, chunk it into words, then pack the words into the available space in the print fields and exit if it ran out of fields, or text to pack in.

This turned into a nightmare of random IDE crashes and random .exe crashes when the code is executed. 

IDE is PB 2017 R3 Build 1915.

I have looked into debug logs and the fault is always c0000005 in PBSH170.DLL offset 000C34C0 in the IDE and if the compiled .exe is run, then it is offset 00060E95.

Nothing I have tried has resolved this issue, as it is random if it fails in the IDE, and when it does, it takes the IDE down. It always fails in the .exe in some way, but usually an immediate app crash.

Can anyone see an obvious cause for this in the code? 

 

If I debug step this code in the IDE it works fine. If I run it, it randomly crashes.  Compiled exes invariably crash.

 

// pack words from memo into each item of printfields up to ailength until no room left or out of words

string lsPrintFields[4]

int i = 0, li_idx = 0
