2606.0. "oa$function calls" by ANGLIN::HARRIS (user vicious) Thu Apr 22 1993 19:53

    ALL-IN-1 3.0-1, VMS 5.5-2
    
    customer has an application written for the BA screen. this works fine
    in 2.4, but i'm having a problem adapting it to 3.0.  i know its a
    simple fix (but with my lack of functional brain cells...)
    
    this is the code that is the problem...

    	Is Formname a display only field?
    
    Regards,
    Paul

    no, FORMNAME is not display only.  according to FMS, it is
    Autotab, Uppercas, Response required, Supervisor Only.
    
    the supervisor only attribute won't be a problem as its only the
    ALL-IN-1 manager who access this form.

    	I doubt it, I think that's your problem. Supervisor only has
    	nothing to do with the manager (unless your application does
    	something special). Its an FMS attribute which effectively allows
    	you to turn fields into display only fields when FMS "Supervisor mode"
    	is off (the default). It doesn't have much to do with ALL-IN-1, and
    	ALL-IN-1 doesn't turn it on and off depending on your privs.
    
    	There were changes in this area between ALL-IN-1 V2.4 and V3.0 but
    	I forget what. I seem to rememeber it was a bit broken in V2.4.
    
    	Get rid of the Supervisor only attribute and you should be in
    	business.

    thanks Paul - removed superivisor only from the form and its appears to
    be working OK.
    
    thanks! - ann
