878.0. "question about iconic map pm ?" by TENERE::GUIVIER () Mon Apr 08 1991 06:11

    I have written an access module, and at the creation of my instances if
    no new values is given into the in_p_entity, the msl default values are
    taken.
    This runs perfectly on the fcl-pm, but my problem appear on the inconic
    map pm : when into the creation window I select "use default values" or
    validate what is displayed into the fields ( msl default values
    appearing), I recived the "bad ilv mode" error, and with the debugger I
    have seen that the ILV list given back by the iconic is empty !
    This does not happen when I enter the values with "Expand field" or a
    direct entry by keypad.
    What could be the error ??
    
    Thank you for help,
    Pascale.

878.1sorry for the confusionTOOK::CALLANDERMon Apr 08 1991 11:4411
Actually the FCL is broken here. The SRM states that the "implementation 
specific" default value is passed down when the user requests the default.
But, this wasn't clear in the first version of the SRM and so the FCL passed
down the value from the dictionary not the flag. In an ILV dump the flag
shows up as a null value, but on the ILV get you will get back a cvr telling
you it is the default (MCC_S_ILVIMPLDEFAULT).

Now for the V1.1 release the FCL corrected this problem in some, but not
all places; while the iconic map always passes the flag. It is on the list
for 1.2 FCL work to attempt to clean up the default passing so that only
the flag goes across and not the value.
