897.0. "OA$CNV_TO_SCROLL fails" by ADO75A::BEESTON () Fri Jun 19 1992 07:19

    In an application I want to display a WPL document in a scrolled 
    region of an INDEX form.

    I use the OA$CNV_TO_SCROLL function to convert the WPL file to a 
    data file. This convert function is consistently failing when 
    converting long WPL documents. In one I traced it failing at line 100.

    This error occurs consistently at the customers site when they are 
    scrolling long documents ( I assume > 100 lines ) but I have not been 
    able to reproduce this result on my system.
 
    What are the possible reasons for the OA$CNV_TO_SCROLL failing and why
    could it be only in long documents.

    Any clues.. Liz

897.1Wild guess.HOTAIR::MADDOXPoliticians say the darnedest thingsFri Jun 19 1992 19:4211
/SCROLL=[max-sym]

max-sym

This is an ALL-IN-1 symbol containing the maximum number of records in the
scroll file.  The limit is 2000 and is the default if this argument is 
omitted.

Any chance this qualifier has been specified?

897.2Check bytlm quotas for differencesSHALOT::WARFORDRichard Warford @OPA DTN 393-7495Fri Jun 19 1992 19:545
    I think OA$CNV_TO_SCROLL chews up large chunks of BYTLM quota. You
    might want to see if the accounts being used have different values for
    this.

897.3Doesn't seem to be a problemADO75A::BEESTONWed Jun 24 1992 09:0818
    
	RE .1

	I count the number of lines before I display the scrolled region to 
    	remove any overhead invovled in moving to the bottom of the 2000 line 
	scrolled region.

	In this case the OA$CNV_TO_SCROLL fails first and if I then go on to 
	count the lines there are only (approx) 100 lines that have been 
	converted to scrolled.

	RE .2
	
	Two users who have had this problem are defined with BYTLM quotas 
	of 50000 and 36000.

897.4ENQLM quotaADOVS9::SYMONinFamy SoonFri Nov 27 1992 04:266
    ENQLM is the quota which is running out and causing OA$CNV_TO_SCROLL to
    fail at that point.  ENQLM seems to reduce by 1 per line (record) being
    converted.  Is it taking out a lock on every record or something?
