Issue/Introduction

After adding some additional functionality to a model, some of our existing code is no longer working and gives the following error message when flowing to it. 

LOG000W1.EXE. LOG000W1.EXE has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. 

Have tried several attempts at rewriting the code with no success. Also get the same error when try to trace the code making it difficult to discover the cause.

Environment

Release: 8.6 
Component: Gen 

Resolution

The problem is that one of the application components, had an extra view that was not noticed. So when it was called in the consuming model it eventually crashed the main application LOG000w1.EXE. The crash wasn’t immediate which is why it was difficult to locate i.e. could step through a lot of other code with no errors before the crash occurred.
