4130.0. "Rename DOCDB ?" by WAYOUT::CLARKE () Tue May 03 1994 18:42

If you rename form DOCDB and try to use it to modify records in DOCDB.DAT you
get the following messages;

 %OA-E-DBEOR, Error opening ASTONSDOCDB - File DISK$USERS:[CLARKE.A1]DOCD
 B.DAT;
 -OA-E-BADRECSIZE, Record size for file does not match form
 %OA-E-DBEOR, Error opening ASTONSDOCDB - File DISK$USERS:[CLARKE.A1]DOCD
 B.DAT;
 -OA-E-BADRECSIZE, Record size for file does not match form
 %OA-E-ENTEOO, Error opening output file "OA$CURDWR_DIRECT:DOCDB.DAT"
 -OA-E-BADRECSIZE, Record size for file does not match form
%OA-E-EIF, Error occurred while form ASTONSDOCDB was current
 -OA-E-ENTEOO, Error opening output file "!AS"

I think that this is something to do with the new computed fields which I assume
DOCDB is hardcoded at code level as a special case.

Customer would like to know for academic interest how this can be changed.

Thanks

    That's right. What exactly is the user trying to do? Modifying fields
    should be done in order of preference:
    
    CABINET CHANGE_ATTRIBUTE function
    WRITE CHANGE CAB$ ...
    
    or (last resort)
    
    WRITE CHANGE DOCDB ...
    
    HTH
