Inside my VUMAT I have a part that I write a message using "CALL XPLB_ABQERR" . I include lots of information in this message including current nblock. What I am seeing is that the reported nblock is sometimes a weird number.. like nblock=1736294400, or even sometimes a negative number. Anyone has any idea what does it mean or is it normal. I was under impression that nblock is a positive natural number up to 136. I also am not changing this number in my code. I have two models using this VUMAT; one uses ALE and one does not and this situation only happens with the model that has ALE.
