Re: [udf-dlm-develop] IDL timeout

[Joerg-Micha J. <jj...@sw...>]

Let me put one on top:

whan receiving data from an UDF archive I get frequent timeouts. WHat
happens is that IDL does not seem to wait for the UDF routines to do their
stuff (i.e. go out to the archive, get the data and then install them) but
continues whether the data are there or not. WHen UDF is finally finished
(and this can take upward of one second), IDL has crashed due to the lack
of data. THis, of course, is the kiss of death to batch processing.

The UDF developer thinks that this is an IDL issue. I don't know the IDL
guts well enough to verify that, but could this be that IDL does not wait
for UDF calls to return the data first??
