1516.0. "Strange behaviour of custom template document" by GIDDAY::BURT (Chele Burt - CSC Sydney, DTN 7355693) Mon Sep 28 1992 04:34

Greetings,

Customer is running ALL-IN-1 V2.4 (unpatched)

Customer uses a locally created template document, then via index attaches 
another document to it. The combined document cannot be read - it appears empty
When the document is EDITED, the first part of the document is there.

The customer cannot read the document from either WP or EM, but CAN print it 
successfully.

A similar sounding bug existed under 2.3 (couldn't read attachment under WP,
but can under EM), but was reportedly corrected with 2.4.

I've had a look at the script & trace file, but had no luck spotting the 
problem. (file can be found on 
 	  MSOTIS::DKA300:[BURT.PUBLIC.ALL-IN-1]TRACE_N_SCRIPT.PROB;1)

Regards & thanks for any assistance offered,

Chele

	From the trace file I don't recognize the code as being part of a standard ALL-IN-1 system. It looks like it is from SFCP because many symbols have a prefix of #SFCP. I do not know how SFCP handles attachments. The ALL-IN-1 File Cabinet model does not regard attaching as a combining operation, but as a way of associating separate documents so that all the documents can be referenced by a reference to the first document. An Edit operation on a document with attachments only edits the first document. This is done because the attached documents may have different handling which requires using a different editor. When you print a document which has attachments the main document and each attachment are individually formatted. If you want to combine multiple documents into a single document you should use Gold-GET from within an editor. Richard
