I just implemented our first UPGRADE from an ALL-IN-1 V2.4 system to V3.0-1
(Hebrew).
The installation itself went very smoothly. However, once the system was up and
running we discovered that we couldn't print to certain printers using specific
printer types via the oa$formatter. The error being returned was "No such
form".
The oa$formatter queue had retained on error, and I was able to see that the
there was indeed an error in the form name being passed in oa$params. It looked
something like this:
"OA$PARAMS=000,SYS$PRINT,LA210, 1,OA$HLS_13"
^^ ^
NOTICE:
1. Two spaces preeceeding the COPIES parameter (usually not there)
2. The LAST character of the FORM name has been truncated.
o Printing directly to queue is fine
o The oa$printstyles.dat contains the correct form name
0 A1TRACE shows that the FORM name IS complete in the oa$params string
o Some styles work fine. I compared these with the ones that don't work (PT)
but I couldn't see any apparent differences.
I attempted to DELETE the LA210 entry and recreate it. After this creation it
did work the first time. However after EDITING it from the PT form, it became
"corrupted" again.
I'm totally confused.
Thanks,
Cb.

Are there any customizations? Have you tried running ALL-IN-1 with /NOCUSTOM? Richard | |||||
| 3394.2 | COPIES field cannot be RIGHT-JUSTIFY ... | TAV02::CHAIM | Semper ubi Sub ubi ..... | Thu Oct 14 1993 17:19 | 10 |
It was not customization, however it was due to the fact that the COPIES field on the WPPARG form (for Hebrew) was a right-justified field. I set this attribute to the COPIES field on an ENGLISH system, and got the same behavior. So it is a problem deep in the guts of ALL-IN0-1. However, the work-around is satisfactory.
