SIGSEGV problem

[TonyMUK]

This is driving me mad. This program reads 8 records from an iseries data queue and then I get the segmentation fault. I can't work out why. Does anyone have any ideas? Please!!

lines 18-31 -- why do all that memory allocations?? Just declare the variables normally and pass them to other functions by address, something like this.

static unsigned char buffer1[101];

/**********************************************************************/

int main()
{
    static cwbDQ_QueueHandle queueHandle;
    static cwbDQ_Data queueData;
    int result = 0;
    static cwbCO_SysHandle sysHandle;

    result = cwbCO_CreateSystem(TEXT("172.22.1.200"),&sysHandle);

It's just the way it ended up after lots of trial and error. After programming for 20+ years I decided it was time to learn c++ so I am still a newbie at the language. I'll make the changes tomorrow and let you know.
Thanks

Tried that and I get errors back from the data queue library. The only one I can safely change is queueData. I am getting the following error :

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
