2430.0. "PRA files not upgraded during V3 upgrade" by GANTRY::HULL (Digital Services Delivery - Motown) Wed Mar 17 1993 19:03

We just upgraded my customer system from 2.4 to 3.0 the past two days.  I
had been developing the customizations on a co-existant V3 system.  For
some reason the print attribute files in [ALLIN1.PRINT] on the production
side didn't appear to get updated, compared to all the newer files  in the
co-ex system.

For now I just copied all the newer PRA/PRC files into the production area
as a higher version, but on some print types, like using TERMINAL, I'm
getting the following error:

Error occurred during operation : PRINT_ATTRIBUTE_FILE_ERROR

No further detail is given.  ???  How/what do I track down to fix all this?

I have narrowed it down to some interaction with the customized printing
here - when I tried it with /NOCUST a TERMINAL print worked just fine.
Still, any hints would be appreciated.

    Al,
    
    You know I wouldn't normally go anywhere near a printer table but as
    it's you I did a search in STARS and came up with an article entitled
    Printer Tables And Upgrade Installation To V3.0 which might help.
    
    There's lots of words in it that I don't understand but here are two 
    apparently relevant extracts (:==:)
    
    Regards,
    
    Andrew.D.Wicks
    
    When a V2.3 or V2.4 ALL-IN-1 system is upgraded to V3.0, all
    printer tables which are supplied as standard with ALL-IN-1
    will be provided in the Digital area (KOA$PRINT_SHARE which  
    was KOA$PRINT).  This will replace/override any customizations that 
    you may have made to these tables in previous versions of ALL-IN-1.
    The printer tables provided (and required) with ALL-IN-1 V3.0 are
    in a WPS-PLUS V4 format. 
    
    Any non-standard printer tables which you created in previous
    versions of ALL-IN-1 (possibly to support non-Digital printers)
    will not be affected by the upgrade installation of ALL-IN-1.  If  
    they are not in the required format, you will have to convert 
    them using the new WP/CM PT CO option before they can be used in
    ALL-IN-1 Version 3.0.
                                                             
     
2430.2For Print to TERMINAL differencesIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Thu Mar 18 1993 11:059
If Print to TERMINAL works differently when running /CUST and /NOCUST check
which WPS-PLUS Printer Tables are being used.  You will probably find that
the WPS-PLUS Printer Tables being used with /CUST has not be converted to
the WPS-PLUS V4 format, or if it has been converted it needs further
changes to make it work with the WPS-PLUS V4 formatter.
