IOS 3.0-1 on VMS 5.5-2 A question on creating/editing a document in local shared drawer where copying of document body file will happen in certain circumtances, which again depends on document format. A summarized table: =================================================================== OWNER SHARER =================================================================== WPS-PLUS in place OA$TEMP CREATE WORDPERFECT in place ? in place WPS-PLUS in place in place ? EDIT WORDPERFECT in place ? OA$TEMP ? =================================================================== where "in place" is the designated location, e.g. [.DOC6] for document number xxxxx6 The script WP_SYS_EDIT does offer some explanations but I don't always trust my understanding. Also, the codes in this script and WP_SYS_CLOSE seemed to indicate deletion of the temporary file created by the sharer will look into OA$TEMP only; hence, the copy in "in place" will become untouched. Could someone offer the truth? and fixes/workarounds ? Thanks Hong CSC Sydney

This is the table for V3.0-1
===================================================================
OWNER SHARER
===================================================================
WPS-PLUS in place replace
CREATE
WORDPERFECT in place in place (* note 4)
WPS-PLUS in place in place
EDIT
WORDPERFECT in place copy/replace
===================================================================
1. Replace means create the file in a document in the folder RECOVERED
DOCUMENTS and then copy this to the target document.
2. Copy/replace means copy to a document in the folder RECOVERED
DOCUMENTS, perform the edit and then copy back to the target document.
3. In exceptional circumstances these rules will vary, for example if
someone is reading the WPS-PLUS document that we want to edit then the
copy/replace method will always be used (otherwise WPS-PLUS would not
be able to achieve its exclusive lock on the file).
4. The bad news. There were problems, for external editors, which had not
been corrected in V3.0-1 . For example the position marked * in the
table should be copy/replace. A fix will be in a pfr.
5. OA$TEMP is no longer used, although there is a passing reference to
it in WP_SYS_CLOSE.SCP . You have got me worried now, I was sure that
V3.0-1 included the change to discontinue use of OA$TEMP.
Tell me if you need more details

Dick
Yes, you're spot right on the discontinued use of OA$TEMP in 3.0-1
according to my test
Many thanks
