| 168.1 | Bad news... and good news | SHALOT::NICODEM | Who told you I'm paranoid??? | Wed Mar 04 1992 18:40 | 27 |
| Seems like we have two questions here:
� They have requested that the TM EV description field be extended..
If you're referring to the "Purpose" field (DESC), then the answer is
"Don't touch it!" The Calendar data sets (CAL$CALENDAR, CAL$MEETING, and
CAL$ATTENDEE) are all bound closely together; trying to make a "simple" modifi-
cation to one isn't as simple as it sounds. It's not just a matter of changing
a field on an entry form somewhere. These DSABs are defined within the BLISS
code.
However...
� Ideally, they would like to be able to attach a small document to an
� event...i.e. a set of directions, phone contacts etc.
This *is* your lucky day! As a matter of fact, we do have just such an
application, written as a customized TM solution. This solution is available
through our office here in Charlotte, and the person you should contact is
Barb SHALOT::PEACOCK (DTN 393-7573).
The application you would want to refer to is known as "Attaching
Related Documents", and is becoming a somewhat standard TM enhancement (ref:
a similar capability within the old SES application). BTW, the application has
already been upgraded for V3.0, and is currently in final testing... 8^)

| 168.2 | Just curious | AIMTEC::ZANIEWSKI_D | Why would CSC specialists need training? | Wed Mar 04 1992 19:21 | 8 |
| Hi Frank,
Has this been tested with WordPerfect integrated on the system?
This integration chokes on the 80 character dash when you try to
add a comment to the event. The customer appears to have seen no
way around this and asked for the data set to be extended.

| 168.3 | Not the same thing | SHALOT::NICODEM | Who told you I'm paranoid??? | Fri Mar 06 1992 13:07 | 17 |
| � This integration chokes on the 80 character dash when you try to

Again, I'll say that I think we've got two different topics here. The
integration I was mentioning in .1 (and which addressed the specific problem in
.0 of being able to attach "small documents" to an event) does *not* use the
DESC field. It uses the FILLER field as a pointer to *another* (i.e., related)
document, which can then be as short or as long as you wish to make it. This
related document could be directions to the meeting, speaker notes, an agenda,
or anything else you want.
I'll still suggest that extending a field in the calendar DSAB is *not*
the kind of task a user wants to undertake. (In fact, that's exactly why some
"special" DSABs have been written to extend things like the ATTENDEE record
*in another file*, rather than in the ATTENDEE record itself; right, Ben???)

| 168.4 | Wasn't the "dashed" problem fixed? | SEWNSO::PEACOCK | Back in the saddle again | Mon Mar 09 1992 14:45 | 8 |
| Hi Dave!
I thought that the problem with WordPerfect and the dashes was fixed when
the code was changed to display a symbol (OA$_TM_DAHED_LINE). If the customer
has WordPerfect, I think they are supposed to change the value of symbol
in OAMESS. Is this still a problem?

| 168.5 | Possible, but unknown | AIMTEC::ZANIEWSKI_D | Why would CSC specialists need training? | Tue Mar 10 1992 13:13 | 8 |
| Hi Barb,
At the last time somebody checked for me, the only place that
symbol was used was in a couple of CM modules (V2.4 unpatched).
If the TM and MAIL code was changed in a V2.4 patch, then the
problem may be gone.
