1756.0. "FORMAT.DAT v2.4 to v3.0" by MACNAS::PHUGHES () Wed Nov 11 1992 15:52

After our test upgrade of ALL-IN-1 V2.3 to V3.0,I got the error
"error opening ALLIN1$1:[ENGLISH.SITE_ENGLISH]FORMAT..." when
doing a SH on a document.

A new FORMAT was created during installation,and placed in the above
location. V2X_FORMAT.DAT has the same file structure as the newly
created file.Should the new file not have changed from 421 Byte records
to 712 ? It still retains the 421 byte records.

    Pat,
    
    You can recover from the situation by:
    
     1) Restore the original V2.* format file from before the upgrade
        by renaming OA$DATA_LLV:FORMAT.DAT to [ALLIN1.SAV]FORMAT.DAT and
        OA$DATA_LLV:V2X_FORMAT.DAT to OA$DATA_LLV:FORMAT.DAT

     3) Make sure that there is ONLY ONE FORMAT.DAT file in OA$DATA

     2) Run the format conversion script procedure: OA$LIB:FORMAT_UPGRADE
        to convert the file to the new V3.0 format.

     Regards,

    You've probably got a version of the FDL in a SITE directory which
    contains the old record length and is being used in the conversion.
    
    Get rid of it before taking Andy's advice.

    PS Andy why do extracted STARS articles have very long lines (I've now
    fixed it BTW)
