SYMPTOMS
RAWCHECK generates one of the following errors when it processes a .raw file with a NOIDMIF section whose length is greater than 48 KB.

In regular mode:

Error 998 - 'Invalid Access to Memory Location'

In verbose mode:

Error 998 - an 'Access Violation'



CAUSE
The tempbuf variable in RAWCHECK is statically allocated at 48 KB. If the NOIDMIF section in the RAW file is greater than 48 KB, it is too large for RAWCHECK to process.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Systems Management Server version 1.2.
