Number of fields in record ssert error at runtime

[Michael Westfall <mwestfal@gemini.edu>]

What might be the cause of an assert error at runtime concerning the number of fields in a record?

This happens when the xxxRecordSizeOffset() function is called during record initialization.

The above function is defined in the xxxRecord.h file that is generated at compile time.

The line where it fails says 'assert(pdbRecordType->no_fields==99);'

Why would a record have a different number of fields at runtime than were defined in the structure defining the record?

This is a custom record that we are trying to use.

Thanks for any help...
