2952.0. "List processing in the background" by ZUR01::WORK19::BURKHALTER () Thu Jul 01 1993 10:00

Hi all

ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1 GERMAN

Customer has found the following problem in list processing.
If you want to define a leader (for example a header OBEN=TOP) in your 
output document, you have to type the repetitive area between start 
<!S> (in german <!A>) and end repetition command <!E>. In ALL-IN-1 
German this will look like:

----------------------------  ANFANG ---------------------------------
L---------T-------------------------------------------T------------R--
-------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ANFANG ------------------------
OBEN
Termin    Auftrag                                     Wer
------    -------                                     ---

--------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ENDE -------------------------
<!A>
<Termin>  <Auftrag>                                   <Wer><!E>


If you process the list interactively, the output document looks all 
ok.

----------------------------  ANFANG ---------------------------------
L---------T-------------------------------------------T------------R--
-------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ANFANG ------------------------
OBEN
Termin    Auftrag                                     Wer
------    -------                                     ---

--------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ENDE -------------------------
10.04.93  Test1                                       ALLE
15.10.93  Test2                                       ALLE
16.10.93  Test3                                       ALLE

But if you process the list in the background, the german start 
repetition command <!A> will not be recognized and you get the 
following output:
----------------------------  ANFANG ---------------------------------
L---------T-------------------------------------------T------------R--
-------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ANFANG ------------------------
OBEN
Termin    Auftrag                                     Wer
------    -------                                     ---

--------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ENDE -------------------------
10.04.93  Test1                                       ALLE
-------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ANFANG ------------------------
OBEN
Termin    Auftrag                                     Wer
------    -------                                     ---

--------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ENDE -------------------------
15.10.93  Test2                                       ALLE
-------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ANFANG ------------------------
OBEN
Termin    Auftrag                                     Wer
------    -------                                     ---

--------------------------- STEUERBLOCK ENDE -------------------------
16.10.93  Test3                                       ALLE


As it looks the german start repetition command will not be recognized 
by the background processor. If you use the english start repetition 
command <!S> instead of the german <!A> in the background processing, 
the output looks fine.

Is this a known feature, is there a fix available. Customer will not 
accept this behaviour, so I hope we can fix it asap.

Any ideas,

Rolf

    Hello Rolf
    
    we are currently working on a very similar ECSO about this. We don't
    have an answer yet, but it looks like it's only a problem in
    multilingual systems. We have to verify, before we (perhaps) can
    provide a fix for it.
              
    	sorry,
    	Stefan
