2601.0. "Cmtxl will not compile with CCM." by AIMTEC::SIMPSON_L () Wed Apr 21 1993 22:29

    Hello,
    
    I have a customer issue which has been puzzling me for a while.
    Hope someone can shed some light on it for me.
    
    My customer is runninb ALL-IN-1 V2.4.  When attempting to compile the
    Cmtxl using
    the CM option, or running the Cm_cds script which this option calls, he
    gets a
    stack dump during the compilation of the Oa$site_blp_english directory.
    Boilerplates up to and including Mailmemo2.blp are compiled then the
    stack dump occurs.
    
    I have checked the following:
    
    	o files other than blp or scp files in txl directories (none)
    	o files in the wrong directories (as far as I can tell none)
    	o logicals defined system and exec (all are defined this way)
    	o ownership of files (ALL-IN-1 owns them and they have
    (s:rwed,o:rwed,g:re,w:re) protection)
    	o A suggestion was made to me that posibly one or more
    	file headers might be corrupt.  I copied the oa$site_blp_english
    files out
    	of this directory, deleted the versions in the directory, then
    	copied them back.  (no luck)
    	o the system was rebooted thinking a memory problem might be
    occurring.
    	This did not help.
    
    	If we use the Oa$txl functions to compile, remove and install the
    txl,
    	it works just fine.
    
    The following things cause Ccm to work:
    
    	o Adding a blp file in the Oa$site_blp_english directory
    	at the beginning, in the middle or at the end, whether this new
    file
    	has something in it or not, causes Ccm to work.
    	o Setting the terminal width to 132 before logging into
    	ALL-IN-1 will allow Ccm to work.
    
    We have been trying anything and everything from the ALL-IN-1 manager's
    account.  I know the workarounds we have at this point are rather
    bizarre
    but this whole problem seems rather bizarre.  None of the more
    common problems seem to be the cause.
    
    Oh, by the way, I did check out mailmemow.blp and R2020,blp
    the file after mailmemo2 and they seem to be fine.
    
    The customer said that the last time the txl was compiled was
    back in March and they had no problems then.
    
    Can anyone give me some other ideas to check on?
    
    Thanks very much!

    Laurie,
    
    is there a customised version of CM_CDS and the like on the system
    from MICA or APA?

    Andrew,
    
    Thanks for the reply.
    
    No, the cm_cds script was not customized unless SFCP or Wordperfect
    customized it.  It looks like ours on Oamate.  Anyway,
    Iain and I relinked the image yesterday
    and discovered problems with a relink.  So they need to fix
    these and hopefully the problem will be resolved.
    I had tried the relink before I got together with
    Iain and saw the problems but I needed to talk to him
    and find out the implications of the errors that were showing
    up.
    
    Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
    
    Thanks again.
    
    Laurie
