3799.0. "Old v2.4 RFD problem on WP index" by KERNEL::VANRIXTELE (Emma van Rixtel) Mon Jan 24 1994 10:14

    I have a customer who has noticed, that on his v2.4 system, when any of
    his users do an index of a folder in WP, then notice that they have
    some unread mail, and so do II to list the INBOX. They read one mail
    message, and whilst reading it, they do the RFD option. The template
    comes up to fill in which folder to refile the document to, but the
    title of the document is not the mail message that they are reading,
    but the document that was being currently pointed to in the WP index.
    
    I have found a similar problem in the v2.4 conference, and just
    wondered if this was the same reason that this was happening. I have
    tested this on v3.0 and it behaves as expected, so the customer is
    already aware that it has been fixed, but is just interested why it is
    doing this. I have extracted the v2.4 note...

        We have the following problem on our ALL-IN-1 systems (4 separate
        systems):
    
        From the WP menu screen an user is creating an index of a folder.
        Folder is different than the one mentioned on the WP menu screen.
        He selects all the items and does an XR. While reading he uses the
        option RFD.
    
        In the field title is mentioned not the present document, but the
        document choosen on de WP screen. So one is refiling the wrong
        document.
    
        With every document of the selected items which have to be refiled
        ALL-IN-1 every time takes the document on the WP menu screen.
    
        Known problem ??
    
    We have ALL-IN-1 V2.4 (Dutch), VMS 5.4-2.

        Hi Wilma,
    
        This is a bug. The document refered to in that specific form
    (WPFCFOLD)
        is @#CURDOC, which is $WPDOC and that symbol in turn contains the
        currently selected document in the WP menu.
    
        I don't find out yet where to solve this problem, but I'm still
    working
        on it (until I found it or someone post the solution).
    
        Sjaak.
    
    
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If this is not the same problem, could someone please let me know what
    it was to cause this.
    
    Thank you,
    
    
    Emma.

    Yes, this is almost certainly the same problem.

    If you want the details they are:
    
    CHANGED MODULES
    ---------------
    
            OA$LIST$CAB$OPTIONS.FLX(3)
            EM$INDEX$OPTIONS.FLX(5)
    
    Problem(s) fixed or functionality added:
    ----------------------------------------
    
    When indexes were entered from the WP menu some options gave misleading
    information or operated on the wrong object.
    
    In particular RFD would refile the wrong document and A would show the
    wrong message in the WPS-PLUS status block.
    
    Changes
    -------
    
    The problem arises from those components, called by indexes, that work
    on #CURDOC which may still be referring to $WPDOC when the indexes
    think they are working on OA$CURMES.
    
    This has been corrected, in the forms above, by temporarily setting
    #CURDOC to "OA$CURMES".
    
    The components that are working on #CURDOC are WPPAFOLDER/WPFCFOLD.SCP
    (when refiling) and MAIL/WPS-PLUS (when answering).
