219.0. "Error writing to ATTENDEE.DAT" by BODRUM::KINACI (SOSUME!!!) Thu Mar 12 1992 15:27

    Hello again folks,
    
    Coming to you from Istanbul-Turkey once again and once again I seem to
    have a problem with ALL-IN-1/TURKCE V2.4.
    
    This time its the ATTENDEE.DAT file... Here is the scenario:
    
    USERA  schedules a meeting with USERB and when USERB replies to
    indicating attendance and error message occurs on the screen indicating
    it cannot write to ATTENDEE.DAT and no mail is sent back to USERA.  The
    error message pops up on the screen even before USERB gets to add an
    optional comment.  That is once 'yes' is entered and USERB decides on
    entering a comment or not the error comes up on the screen.
    
    This is what I've checked so far:
    
    Protections:  sufficient
    location of ATTENDEE.DAT:  only one and in .data_share
    $ANAL/RMS:   no errors
    addressing:  (users on same system using lastname.firstname format)   
    data file format:  indexed
    both users on straight Turkish system
    checked ATTENDEE.DAT to see if anything was written:   the meetings, the
    scheduler and attendee appear but the 'yes' or 'no' don't show up.
    
    I am open to any suggestions!.......

        I've not seen this on a US system.  Are there any special
        characters in the username or full name of the scheduler or the
        attendee?  What about the ownership of the ATTENDEE.DAT file?  Is
        it occurring for any other user combinations?  Check the
        MEETING.DAT file, it's possible that is the cause of the problem. 
        
        Error occurred writing to attendee file only happens in two
        general circumstances, to the best of my knowledge.  The first is
        when the file can't actually be accessed.  The second is when a
        search through the file does not locate the record you were
        expecting to update.
