3134.0. "Reading while editing a document" by KERNEL::SMITHERSJ (Living on the culinary edge....) Thu Aug 12 1993 13:02

    
    Here's a nice gotcha.  User has a document which he has been working
    on and filing away every day.  He then decides to take use of the 
    multiple editing feature and so does GOLD SENT and chooses the 
    option to READ the document.  He decides he would like to read the 
    document he is editing (so that he didn't have to keep scrolling 
    through the document while editing).  However, the document appears
    as blank and so the customer does a GOLD K to quit out.  WPS-PLUS
    gives you a message saying its deleting the document and takes you 
    back to the original intact document.
    
    Then exit out of the original and guess what.,...... the original
    has been deleted too with an  error message
    
    Error deleting file "[.DOC5]ZUUUH1038.WPL
    -RMS-E-FLK, file currently locked by another user                            
    %OA-W-CAB_CANT_FIND, The current File Cabinet document cannot be found 
    
    This doesn't happen when you press EXIT to come out of the blank 
    document, only happens with GOLD K.  
    
    SPR (as was) time?

    Yes, looks like SPR time. Could you also put this in the WPSPLUS
    conference and I'll see what we can do from this end.
    
    (If I was WPSPLUS I think I would be confused by that sequence of
    operations, but that's no excuse :-)
