2266.0. "OA$FORMATTER and WordPerfect access violation" by BUSHIE::SETHI (Man from Downunder) Tue Feb 16 1993 03:52

    Hi All,
    
    *** NOTE: ALL-IN-1 IOS Version 3.0 and WordPerfect 3.0 problem & solution***
    
    I have taken a number of calls related to OA$FORMATTER having ACCESS
    VIOLATION problems and the problem in all the cases so far has been
    WordPerfect queue integration.
    
    The OA$FORMATTER has to be integrated and in many cases this has not
    happened.  To check enter $ show queue/full oa$formatter if it does not
    the /CHAR=127 set it's not integrated.
    
    To ensure that OA$FORMATTER is integrated I would suggest that you do
    the following:
    
    1. edit the sys$startup:wpcorp$startup_specific.dat
    2. enter SYS$STARTUP:WPCORP$INTEGRATE_QUEUES.COM I 
             PRTSMB,LATSYM,CPS$SMB,LPS$SMB,OA$FORMATTER
    
    The above should all be on one line.
    
    The ACCESS VIOLATION occurs on ALL-IN-1 IOS Version 3.0 and WordPerfect
    Version 3.0 kit.  Other notes in here have discussed problems with a
    co-existent system and OA$FORMATTER problem so please refer to those
    notes.
    
    I thought that I would mention this problem because it's been happening
    too often and Word(im)Perfect have not made it clear to the customer
    that OA$FORMATTER has to be integrated.
    
    Regards,

2266.1WordPerfect for OpenVMS *NO* ALL-IN-1 integrationBUSHIE::SETHIMan from DownunderWed Feb 17 1993 01:3220
    Hi All,
    
    *** NOTE: WordPerfect for OpenVMS and *NO* ALL-IN-1 integration ***
    
    Here is another odd ball combination that also causes an ACCESS
    VIOLATION of OA$FORMATTER and I will say this is a rare combination.
    
    A customer has WordPerfect for OpenVMS (no ALL-IN-1 integration), if
    you have WordPerfect up and running and than do a relink of ALL-IN-1,
    the OA$FORMATTER will have WordPerfect routines linked.  It's best to
    not have WordPerfect up and running for this type of configuration and
    than do the relink of ALL-IN-1.
    
    To check if this is the cause of the problem for the ACCESS VIOLATION
    make sure WordPerfect has not been started, than do a $mc oa$formatter.
    This will give you a traceback pointing to a WordPerfect routine.
    
    Regards,
