1771.0. "Printing TDE doc from shared drawer" by LYTSOV::APPS_GUEST2 () Thu Nov 12 1992 17:24

I create a WPS document, in the document I draw a box using TDE. I print the 
document with a horizontal pitch 0f 12 to a DEClaser printer all is ok..

I copy the file to a shared draw, when I print this doccument to the same printer
the box consists not of continuous lines but dashed lines...

any ideas

Cheers,

Dave Spriggs

1771.1Trying to eliminate possibilitiesIOSG::SHOVEDave Shove -- REO2-G/M6Wed Dec 09 1992 10:0214
    Have you checked the document in the shard drawer? SELect it in the EM
    menu, and do a SHow - what is its filename and Data Type?
    
    I ask because it sounds a bit as if it got converted to ASCII on being
    copied to the shared drawer (in which case its Data Type will be ASCII
    something, and its file name will end with .TXT). If that's the case,
    asking in the WPS-PLUS  conference will do you no good, and someone
    should be able to help you here.
    
    If, on the other hand, the Data Type is still WPSPLUS and the filename
    ends in .WPL, then it must be some (highly obscure) WPS-PLUS problem
    and you'll do better in their conference.

1771.2CAB$ATTACH problem?KERNEL::SMITHERSJLiving on the culinary edge....Fri Feb 05 1993 12:0323
    Same ongoing problem.....
    
    I've done some investigation into this and it looks like the problem
    only occurs if you ATTach a TDE document in another drawer.  If you
    ATTach a TDE document within the same drawer, its OK so the ATTach
    function isn't too blame.  It is only when you ATTach across 2 
    drawers.
    
    WPS-PLUS are going to refer me back here because the problem only
    occurs with shared drawers.  Its certainly strange because not only
    are the vertical lines dashes but also the horizontal ones, as though
    I had created the line with hyphens.
    
    <for cab$attach with .docnum=000006 do get .ddsab tells me its WPSPLUS
    so I don't understand what is going on.  I see note 1758.* touches 
    on CAB$ATTACH but print settings are stored in the .WPL file, not the
    PDAF.  
    
    Any wild ideas?

    Hi,
    
    There is a bug we fixed in the CAB$ATTACH data set which probably
    explains your problem.
    
    When you attach a document in the same drawer a DFORMAT attribute of
    blank is added. When you attach from another drawer no DFORMAT
    attribute gets added. 
    
    Now doing the following :
    
    	get cab$attach.dformat[...]
    
    will return a non-blank answer if dformat is not present. This is a
    problem we have already fixed for the PFR, but the fix is not in
    V3.0-1. If your problem is urgent you may wish to contact the support
    organisation to see if you can get a CSP.
    
    Cheers
