2586.0. "ATT option loses attributes %OAFC-I-ATTRNF" by BUSHIE::SETHI (Ah (-: an upside down smile from Oz) Mon Apr 19 1993 04:23

    Hi All,
    
    A problem with the ATT option has been reported on an ALL-IN-1 IOS
    3.0-1 installation.  Take the following example:
    
    1. Create an EM (MAIN drawer)
    2. ATT a document from another drawer
    
    You get the message "Document has been attached", however when you do a 
    Gold W you get an informational message "%OAFC-I-ATTRNF, Attribute not
    found".  When you print all the attributes are lost.
    
    What I did in my example was to attach a WPS-PLUS document with the
    following in the control block:
    
    --------------------------------- START CONTROL
    --------------------------------
    PRINTER TABLE BORDER
    |PRINTER BOLD 24_POINT_HELVETICA 0
    |PRINTER UNDERLINE 16_POINT_HELVETICA
    --------------------------------- END   CONTROL
    --------------------------------
    
                             DEC MAILworks - Overview  (Note this is bold)
    
    --------------------------------- START CONTROL
    --------------------------------
    PRINTER BOLD RESET
    PRINTER UNDERLINE RESET
    PRINTER FONT 10-POINT-COURIER
    --------------------------------- END   CONTROL
    --------------------------------
    
    Printing from the drawer the document is stored in you get the title in
    bold.  However if you try to print from the main drawer (created
    message with attachment) you get the text in the control block
    displayed and the title in bold.  I tested by printing to the terminal
    didn't want to kill tree's I am become Green (-:.
    
    Sorry people I have to ask the usual question is this a known problem ? 
    Do I need to SRP this problem ?  I hate all of these outages they
    clutter up my call queue :-).
    
    Regards,
    
    Sunil

2586.1	non-FCS problem	CHRLIE::HUSTON		`Mon Apr 19 1993 16:09`	15
	You have two problems, one is a non-problem. The OafcAttrNF is a warning message and is known and can be ignored, the attach code in the FCS is playing with attributes, one of which is not a document attribute, hence the attr not found. The Attach works fine and nothing is lost. As for the bolding getting lost, this is probably not an FCS problem, the wps attributes are stored in the doucment itself, the FCS does not touch them, document contents are treated as byte streams, we just move them around, don't really look at them. --Bob
2586.2	No there is a problem and we need to test	BUSHIE::SETHI	Ah (-: an upside down smile from Oz	`Tue Apr 20 1993 01:05`	15
	Hi Bob, I think that you may have misunderstood the problem in that it's not just a warning message the document attributes are lost. It's not the bolding that's lost but the control blocks are displayed as text, ie they are not formatted. This could be a WPS-PLUS I will cross post it in the WPS-PLUS conference. Having said that I do not have access to the code etc. to determin what is causing the problem. Can someone give my example ago please !!! Regards, Sunil
2586.3	Data type and handling info?	IOSG::MCLEAN		`Tue Apr 20 1993 11:32`	16
	Sunil, I tried this and it worked ok for me printing to TERMINAL or printer. Could you do an IA and Gold View to see what the Data Type and Handling are for the attachment please. The OafcAttrNF warning message doe not relate to any of the WPS-PLUS formatting information and is spurious (and safe!) in this operation. Thanks, Alan
2586.4	See Note 1185.3	IOSG::MAURICE	Night rolls in, my dark companion	`Tue Apr 20 1993 12:08`	11
	Hi Alan, I think the reason you're not seeing the problem is that you're running on a system where the problem is fixed! Note 1185 is I think the same problem. Sunil - aren't you and Hong on speaking terms any more ;^) Cheers Stuart
2586.5	The solution to the problem from Oz	BUSHIE::SETHI	Ah (-: an upside down smile from Oz	`Wed Apr 21 1993 01:39`	135
	Hi Stuart, Well we do chinwag unfortunately Hong is an older model than I am and has probably developed a flaky memory ;). Anyway I am posting a solution to the problem the old man developed :-).

There are 8 identical additions of a single command, which occur immediately before lines 68, 113, 405, 502, 579, 608, 687 and 695 of the original script mentioned above. The following listing shows differences in this script file before and after changes: ********* File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.DO_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;1 69 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "ASCII" then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "ASCII EDT" ** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.SITE.DEV_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;2 69 !* temporary fix for EM with non-MAIN attachments * 70 .if fn$length(#PRINT_FORMAT) eq 1 then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "" 71 !* end of temporary fix * 72 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "ASCII" then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "ASCII EDT" ******** ******** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.DO_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;1 114 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "ASCII" then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "ASCII EDT" ** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.SITE.DEV_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;2 117 !* temporary fix for EM with non-MAIN attachments * 118 .if fn$length(#PRINT_FORMAT) eq 1 then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "" 119 !* end of temporary fix * 120 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "ASCII" then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "ASCII EDT" File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.DO_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;1 406 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "PS" and #PRINT_FINAL_FORM eqs "PS" then - ** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.SITE.DEV_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;2 412 !* temporary fix for EM with non-MAIN attachments * 413 .if fn$length(#PRINT_FORMAT) eq 1 then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "" 414 !* end of temporary fix * 415 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "PS" and #PRINT_FINAL_FORM eqs "PS" then - ******** ******** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.DO_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;1 503 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs #PRINT_FINAL_FORM then .goto BG_NO_FORMAT ** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.SITE.DEV_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;2 512 !* temporary fix for EM with non-MAIN attachments * 513 .if fn$length(#PRINT_FORMAT) eq 1 then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "" 514 !* end of temporary fix * 515 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs #PRINT_FINAL_FORM then .goto BG_NO_FORMAT ******** ******** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.DO_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;1 580 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "DOTS" then get #PRINT_OUT_FTYPE = "DOTS" - ** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.SITE.DEV_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;2 592 !* temporary fix for EM with non-MAIN attachments * 593 .if fn$length(#PRINT_FORMAT) eq 1 then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "" 594 !* end of temporary fix * 595 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "DOTS" then get #PRINT_OUT_FTYPE = "DOTS" - ******** ******** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.DO_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;1 609 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "PS" then .goto COPY_POSTSCRIPT ** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.SITE.DEV_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;2 624 !* temporary fix for EM with non-MAIN attachments * 625 .if fn$length(#PRINT_FORMAT) eq 1 then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "" 626 !* end of temporary fix * 627 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "PS" then .goto COPY_POSTSCRIPT ******** ******** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.DO_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;1 688 .if #PRINT_FORMAT nes "" then .goto ATT_FORMAT_SET ** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.SITE.DEV_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;2 706 !* temporary fix for EM with non-MAIN attachments * 707 .if fn$length(#PRINT_FORMAT) eq 1 then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "" 708 !* end of temporary fix * 709 .if #PRINT_FORMAT nes "" then .goto ATT_FORMAT_SET ******** ******** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.DO_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;1 696 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "ASCII" then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "ASCII EDT" ** File $2$DIA12:[ALLIN1.SITE.DEV_SHARE]WPPRINT.SCP;2 717 !* temporary fix for EM with non-MAIN attachments * 718 .if fn$length(#PRINT_FORMAT) eq 1 then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "" 719 !* end of temporary fix * 720 .if #PRINT_FORMAT eqs "ASCII" then get #PRINT_FORMAT = "ASCII EDT" ********** Number of difference sections found: 8 Number of difference records found: 24 Compiled by Hong Le, CSC Sydney
