Hi,
I'm using DECforms V2.2 on VAX OpenVMS 6.2.
Here is the scenario of a strange behavior under FDE....
1) Use the 'EDIT IFDL' icon (Layout level for example) to write some
additional code .
2) Do a syntax error and hit the F10 Key.
You will get an error message -->
Form translation of WORKD$:[TEBOUL.TPACMSDI]FORMS$MBX_02A7.IFDL;1 failed.
3) Select the 'EDIT AGAIN' icon to correct your syntax error and hit
'F10' --> Form Translation successfully completed.
4) Replay steps 1,2(with the same or another syntax error) and 3...
The translator loops on the error message.....
Select 'Exit Save' icon.
Translate your form with the DCL Command and come back to the FDE
Any idea ?
Can someone reproduce it ?
Thanks for your help !!
Alain.

Alain,
I wasn't able to reproduce this though I recall having a similar problem
with prior versions of DECforms. What text editor are you using with the
FDE? I used EDT and LSE.

| 4003.2 | I can reproduce it on another system | PRSSOS::TEBOUL | Thu Jun 05 1997 07:17 | 65 | |
Ruth,
I was using TPU.
I have just installed V 2.2 on another system and i can reproduce it....
In fact when i get the second error message it's not an syntax error
but the following one :
Form translation of WORKD$:[TEBOUL]FORMS$MBX_043D.IFDL;2 failed.
Error opening !AS as output
If i use LSE i get an access violation :
Access violation, reason mask=A5, virtual address=03C00000,PC=000F0230,
PSL=000F2F91
here is the exact scenario to reproduce it :
1) $Form develop NewForm
2) SELECT 'YES' icon to create a new form
3) Select 'Edit Data' icon to create form data
4) Add the following code :
form data
C1 characte(1)
end data
5) Hit 'F10'
6) You get the syntax error message:
Form translation of WORKD$:[TEBOUL]FORMS$MBX_043D.IFDL;1 failed.
Syntax error; an expected keyword, name or literal is missing or
misspelled.
7) select 'Edit Again' icon to correct your code
(modify from characte(1) to character(1))
8) Hit 'F10'
9) You get a successfull message
Translating File: WORKD$:[TEBOUL]FORMS$MBX_043D.IFDL;2
Form Translation successfully completed.
10) Select 'Edit Data' icon to add a new data
Type : C2 characte(1)
11) Hit 'F10'
12) You get the syntax error message:
Form translation of WORKD$:[TEBOUL]FORMS$MBX_043D.IFDL;1 failed.
Syntax error; an expected keyword, name or literal is missing or
misspelled.
13) Select 'Edit Again' icon to correct the syntax
Modify from Characte(1) to Character(1)
14) Hit 'F10'
15) You should see....: (with tpu editor)
Form translation of WORKD$:[TEBOUL]FORMS$MBX_043D.IFDL;2 failed.
Error opening !AS as output.
If using LSE you would get the access violation.
Hope this can help !!
Thanks a lot ,
Alain.

Alain,
I was able to reproduce this only by setting a version limit of 1 on
the directory specified by sys$scratch. That directory is used to
create a temporary file during the translation of the form. Could you
check to see if this is the cause of your problem? If it is, either
change the version limit on the directory or define sys$scratch to point
to another directory.
Thanks,
Ruth
