860.0. "Cannot select element in CM" by SWETSC::WESTERBACK (Mimsy were the borogroves) Fri Jun 12 1992 17:12

    Hi,
    
    A customer has a problem using CM. He has all privilege flags
    set in Profile. He has OA$PRVAPP identifier in UAF. Protection
    on CM.FLB and other form libraries seem OK.
    
    He can type CM ADE SEL, then Find, and choose an item. After return
    to menu it says A new element has been selected. But there is still
    nothing in the "black box". If he tries to Read, it says you must
    first select something.
    
    This is a new system, and it seems from ALLIN1 account you can do this
    without any problem. I have looked at a tracelog, but I only have it
    on fax, so can't show it here. But the strange thing I notice is
    that symbol $CM_SDC_KEY contains the chosen form just before closing
    of CM$SELECT$SDC. Then when values are put into place on CM$CS
    suddenly $CM_SDC_KEY is empty it seems. 
    
    Does this ring a bell with anyone? I just can see why the symbol
    is suddenly empty....
    
    Thanks,

    Hi Hans,
    
    I presume you're referring to ALL-IN-1 V2.4 (CM ADE SEL).
    
    Can the customer create an element in CM itself, where after creation
    the current work block should have the information displayed (the
    symbol used is $CM_KEY)? If not, then .1 is very likely the problem.
    
    Ciao,

    Sorry, I had forgotten this note......
    
    I wasn't able to reach the customer, so I faxed him some hints on
    how to check if the PST file was the culprit. Since I have not heard
    any more from him, I hope that did the trick. If he gets back to
    me with further problems I'll post it here.
    
    Thanks,
    Hans
