Variable 'handle$list' never assigned a value.

Post by horserider »

I have a Master Sequencer. From all stages, I have two output.

(1) When the stage is OK, the control goes to another stage.
(2) When an error happens, the control goes to notification activity.

I added Termination Activity stage and joined to all the notification avtivity that executes when an error happens.

After adding the Termintaion Activity, I get an error as below.

a Compiling: Source = 'RT_BP461/JOB.948989665.DT.1486631672', Object = 'RT_BP461.O/JOB.948989665.DT.1486631672'
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
WARNING: Variable 'handle$list' never assigned a value.

How to fix this issue?

How did you 'join' it? If you did something else, run links from all Notification stages to a Sequencer set to 'Any' and then one to the Terminator.

Are there any job in that sequencer?

I beleive this error only comes when you have a Terminator activity stage without a Job Activity stage.

Set the option "Abort without sending STOP requests" on the Termination activity stage. You won't get the error any more.

Good Luck

Shamshad's hint worked. I don't have any JOB ACTIVITY in the Master Sequencer.
