404.0. "5.2.3: it is a bug or not ?" by RUTILE::CAULLIREAU () Wed Mar 13 1991 03:17

    
    We have problem since new version of FOCUS 5.2.3.
    
    We use focus in an application. The file.fex generated is saved with
    this syntax :
    
    logicalnamefilename.fex 
    
    where the logical name is the target directory and the filename the name 
    of the report.
    
    Before with the focus 5.2 it was good.
    
    We want to know if it is a bug or not ???
    Can you help us ??
    
    Thanks

404.1search list logicalRUTILE::CAULLIREAUWed Mar 13 1991 10:1417
    
    After more investigation we remark that the problem is with search
    list logicals.
    
    Examples :
    
    	If you define a search list
	If you log in this search list
    	if you run focus and type ted filename
    
    	Focus specify sys$disk:filename.fex target directory and then if
    you want to REedit it you can not ....
    
    	In focus 5.2 we do not have this problem
    
    	So it is a new functionality of focus 5.2.3 ?

    Say What?  
    
    FOCUS (and TED) searches for stuff using the following logicals, in the
    order listed. 
    
    default directory, foc$dir1, foc$dir2, foc$dir3, foc$dir4, ibi$focus  
    
    when the foc$dir* logicals are defined, define them using the /job
    qualifier, e.g. define/job foc$dir1 somedisk:[inadirectory]
    
    Good Luck! 
404.3after more investigationRUTILE::CAULLIREAUMon Mar 18 1991 05:4720
    Hi ..
    
    After new investigations ..
    
    RRE$FOCUS ==> search list ( definition of 2 directory )
    
    When you do
    
    $ focus
    VMS set def rre$focus
    >>>> ted test1

    The name of the report become RRE$FOCUSTEST!.FEX
    
    This problem is just under focus 5.2-3 and not in 5.2.
    
    It is a bug or not ?
    It is fixing for the next version ? 
    What can we do ??
