This is a problem with scripts provided by Lotus 1-2-3/ALL-IN-1 V1.5. I have posted it here as the problem is apparent from ALL-IN-1 Indexes and requires the attention of people who understand ALL-IN-1 Application Programming (better than me). The symptoms of the problem are as follows; 1. Enter an ALL-IN-1 V3.0 Lotus 1-2-3/ALL-IN-1 V1.5 system and index a folder containing Lotus spreadsheets from WP or EM. 2. Attempt to edit a spreadsheet from the index you will receive the message; This is a Lotus 1-2-3 document; do you wish to continue? [Y/N] 3. Answer Y and nothing happens (the problem). 4. Further attempts to edit spreadsheets during that session will be successful. My investigation results are as follows; The initial attempt at editing does not continue due to a test of symbol OA$CURDOC_FORMAT (line 17 of L123A1_MENU_E.SCP) which is empty, and then branches to label WRONG_DSAB which exits without any useful error. The symbol was originaly "LOTUS 1-2-3" but when this test is performed it is blank. When first editing L123A1_INIT is run which uses CAB SET_DRAWER could it be this which is losing the context of OA$CURDOC_FORMAT. My feeling is that a temporary symbol is being set which should be a permanent symbol, hence why it works for the duration of the sessino. Thanks Aston Clarke UK CSC

| 3145.1 | Yes, probably SET_DRAWER | IOSG::CARLIN | Dick Carlin IOSG, Reading, England | Fri Aug 13 1993 20:16 | 10 |
Yes, you're right. Although CAB SET_DRAWER will establish OA$CURDOC (to
the last document accessed in that drawer) the OA$CURDOCxxx's won't be.
A simple CAB CURRENT would do that.
I don't know the Lotus scripts, could you give me a pointer to the ones
in question. It doesn't look like a big change is needed (famous last
words, the setting of drawer/document symbols in V3 did get a bit
complicated).

Thanks for your attention to this, I have copied the following files to
IOSG::
123EFAIL.LOG - ALL-IN-1 trace of edit failure, note value of
OA$CURDOC_FORMAT.
L123A1_INIT.SCP
L123A1_MENU_E.SCP

| 3145.3 | Any progress? | KERNEL::SMITHERSJ | Living on the culinary edge.... | Thu Aug 19 1993 10:56 | 4 |
Has anyone had a chance to look at the scripts at all?
Many thanks

| 3145.4 | Try this | IOSG::CARLIN | Dick Carlin IOSG, Reading, England | Thu Aug 19 1993 12:17 | 19 |
Aston, Julia
I don't have the "big picture" on the Lotus integration (what else
calls L123A1_INIT.SCP etc), but it would seem that the following change
to L123A1_INIT.SCP should help (add the CAB CURRENT line):
!
.IF $L123A1_DRAWER NES "" THEN CABINET SET_DRAWER $L123A1_DRAWER
.IF OA$CURDWR EQS "" THEN CABINET SET_DRAWER
.IF OA$CURDWR EQS "" THEN -
GET #L123A1_CURRENT_DRAWER =FILECAB:INDICATOR.NAME["1"] ELSE -
GET #L123A1_CURRENT_DRAWER = OA$CURDWR
CABINET CURRENT
!
Perhaps we should be doing that in code as part of the CAB SET_DRAWER,
but anyway the script change is easier for now.
