OA$CABFIFOS is not new; it has always existed throughout V2.x. The purpose of OA$CABFIFOS is to define those folder names which will store entries in First-In/First-Out order, as opposed to the default ordering of Last-In/ First-Out (LIFO). This is done by using the alternate fields DOCNUM and REFNUM, which are 9's complements of each other, and putting the appropriate value into a field called FIXER. The difference in V3.0 is that the names of the included folders are now stored in a list, rather than being directly coded into the DSAB definition in OAGBL.BLI as literals. This list is defined by a BLISS variable called OA$GA_FIFO_LIST. The list, however, is now created in a .MAR file. The reason for this is that any modifications to OAGBL.BLI required the use of a BLISS compiler. The more information that can be extracted from OAGBL.BLI and put into Macro files, the easier it is to customize on-site. Anyway, the new Macro file is called OAFIFO_LIST.MAR. If you look at it, you will find that it basically defines the table that is referenced from OAGBL.BLI -- the list named OA$GA_FIFO_LIST. There are enough comments within the code, as well as diagrams, to make any modifications intuitively obvious. (I.e., read the comments, especially at the end of the module.) F | |||||

The File Cab Server also needs to need to know about any changes to the FIFO list and it has its own table to update. Be sure to do both activities in sync. Cheers Stuart | |||||

Re .2 Where are the FCS ones defined? Graham (too lazy to walk 30 yards and ask!) | |||||

In file oa$data:system_folders.dat. The FCS team supplied a utility program to update it called OAFC$SYSFOLD_SEED. Cheers Stuart | |||||
