Hi Kevin,

I think I recognise this error message "Status -1 from dbGetLink (C)"
as coming from a "genSub" record.

If so, this is telling you that whatever is connected to input link C
is causing the problem.

If you want to find out which particular "genSub" in your system, this
message is coming from, I would recommend changing the printf on line 505
of the "genSub" code to something like this:

printf("%s: Status %ld from dbGetLink (%s)\n", pgsub->name, status,
Ifldnames[i]);

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Andy
