2235.0. "File Cabinet Server can't handle STREAM_LF files?" by VNASWS::GACH (Robert Gach, NSCT Vienna, 754/1360) Tue Feb 09 1993 14:50

Hello, 

I found a problem with the File Cabinet Server and CDA Converter Library V2.0.
(Similar to Note 1061 and 1295 in the TeamLinks conference.)
This problem was fixed with ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1.
It looks like that the fix is only appropriate for WPS-PLUS documents.)
My scenario is: VMS V5.5-2
	          ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1
	          CDA Converter Library V2.0

A customer wants to use ALL-IN-1 for conversion. He creates a WPS-PLUS file.
Then he converts it through the CD (Convert Option) to RTF. There is a format 
Master for RTF with CDA format set to YES. Front end and Back end converter 
are both RTF. Then he connects with TeamLinks to his ALL-IN-1 File cabinet. 
Trys to edit the new file with Word for Windows.  

TeamLinks creates the following error message:

	TeamLinks Info Mgr.
Document's format/organization not supported;
The server currently not support the documents's
file format or organization on the host.

The new created file has the RMS Record format attribute STREAM_LF. If you 
create a FDL, edit the FDL to record format STREAM and create a file with 
CONVERT/RMS/FDL= everything is O.K. You have no problem to access this file 
from TeamLinks. You can open in Word for Windows (outside from TeamLinks) the 
RMS File with the STREAM_LF attribute. Word brings up a box, saying this is a 
RTF Format, do you want to format this document?

This is not what the customer wants. Is there a fix (patch) for the File 
Cabinet Server? If not, what should I do that engineering is aware of the 
problem? (To get a fix for the problem in the next ALL-IN-1 patch?).

Best regards,

Robert

    The FCS does support STREAM_LF format.

    The FCS does not know, nor does it care that it is a WPS-PLUS doc, the
    file is stored by IOS, then TL makes a call to get the file, it tells
    us what format the file is, we treat it as such.
    
    I would suggest you put this is the TL conference.

    You need to find out what in TL causes this message. It is not from the
    FCS and I can tell nothing about what the FCS thinks is wrong. 
    
    To the FCS a file is a file, we don't care who created it.
