A.2.1 If the problem involves a crash

If you are getting a Windows error message such as the following:

DCL NT console driver has encountered a problem and needs to close.

This means your DITA2Go conversion caused a crash.Try the following debugging options:

[Options]
; NoNameDel = No (default),
;  or Yes (prevent deallocation of name memory)
NoNameDel=Yes
; NoMemDel = No (default) or Yes (prevent deallocation of all memory)
NoMemDel=Yes

First set NoNameDel=Yes. If the conversion still causes a crash, try setting NoMemDel=Yes. Your conversion might run to completion with one or the other of these options; in any event, document the result, so Omni Systems programmers can investigate.

Note:  When you set either of these options to Yes, memory deallocation is prevented only while dcl.exe is running; at the end of that (usually brief) process, all memory used by DITA2Go is always freed; no memory leaks occur.

Next: Scope the problem.
