554.0. "6.2.2 table talk not working" by 32FAR::JSTONE () Fri Jun 04 1993 11:49

    hi,
      I am having a problem with tabletalk fexes create prior to the FOCUS
    6.2.2 upgrade. After the upgrade the fex files are not recognized by
    focus. By  this I mean the whole fex is not displayed when users try to
    Bring it up in our front end. The fexes were created using cobol
    with the filedef offline file command. Is there a conversion that was
    missed ?
    
    
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    
    I'm having trouble understanding what your problem is; can you give
    more information ?
    
    Also, can you clarify the bit about Cobol & FILEDEF OFFLINE ?
    
    Thanx

    Hi,
       You can call me @ 297-2306. The problem in a nutshell is that focus
    tabletalk was working prior to the upgrade. Tabletalk files were
    created in the filedef mode in a cobol program prior to the upgrade and
    were working fine.  After the upgrade the tabletalk files were not
    working. When you brought the file into the cobol program it would not
    be recognized by focus. There is a small box with options that should
    appear near the bottom right corner of the screen that was not
    appearing. In addition the tabletalk file would not be displayed from
    the first line. It would start at about the 5th.  
    
    thanks
