770.0. "ACCVIO when GET OA$WPL_PUT_TM" by 51323::AGUSTAFSSON () Mon Jun 01 1992 11:14

I am having problems with a script that exits with 
access violation. It's a part of an ALL-IN-1-
application that automatically creates WPS-PLUS docs. 

It is running ok with ALL-IN-1 V2.3 and WPS-PLUS 3.1. 
Before upgrading I test it "at home" with ALL-IN-1 V2.4
and WPS-PLUS 4.0 and get the above result when doing

	.FX GET OA$WPL_PUT_TM=10

I also get "Unhandled KOALA exception NULL_POINTER"

What is causing the problem? ALL-IN-1 or WPS-PLUS?
Any workaround?

I am posting this to both ALL-IN-1 and WPS-PLUS 
conferences.

770.1May need to be in the editor?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeMon Jun 01 1992 11:4611
    Some of the WPS-PLUS special symbols can only be written to (and read!)
    when in the context of a document (inside the editor?), and perhaps
    only when a VT screen is current too.
    
    Perhaps that's what's hapening here.
    
    We had a lot of problems in V3.0 EXAMINEing the WPS-PLUS symbol form
    any old where, that caused the image to ACCVIO unless a document was
    open.

770.2A WPS-PLUS problemIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4AMon Jun 01 1992 12:4713
This is an introduced problem in the WPS-PLUS V4.0 code.  Getting or
putting the value of an OA$WPL symbol is accessing some variables which are
not initialised until the WPS-PLUS formatter is called for the first time. 

You should find that if you perform a WPS-PLUS format operation before
doing the GET OA$WPL_PUT_TM you will not get an ACCVIO.  This is the only
workaround that I know.

(This problem is fixed in ALL-IN-1 V3.0/WPS-PLUS V4.1.)
