Problem

MDL abort in MGDSHOOK

Product: MicroStation J
Version: 07.01.00.62
Area: Programming

Solution

The error message MDL abort in MGDSHOOK is a very general
error that occurs when something happens that the concerning
MDL application can not handle, e.g. when an integer is expected
on the position of a character, or something written to non allocated
memory . A possible reason can be a long path name (in MS J this
error has been solved). Other causes can be a corrupt DGN file, a
corrupt seed file, a corrupt UPF file etc.

I therefore ask you to check whether the problem:
- is it a file dependent (doe s it also occurs with a file delivered
  with MicroStation),
- is it workspace dependent (does it also occurs with workspace
  delivered with MicroStation that has not been modified, e.g. with
  the "untitled" workspace),
- still occurs when the used UPF file is deleted,
- still occurs when the DGN files has checked (ands repaired) with
  EdG,
- still occurs with files and the used software and workspace is on a
  local drive.

Be sure no third party applications are used.
