307.0. "bookr:onlinechunk endformaltopic OnlinePopup error" by REORG::JALBERT () Mon Apr 02 1990 16:07

I've looked through this notes conference and could not find this error
message anywhere. We are getting the following error for the online build
only of this book:

%DVC-W-SPECIALERROR, error in \special <CR>
   bookr:onlinechunk endformaltopic OnlinePopup
-DVC-W-FIGFILOPN, cannot open figure file
-DVC-I-INPUTFILE, input file is: <CR>
   USER3:[RDBDOC.V40.RDO]RDO_PRO.DVI_BOOKREADER
-DVC-I-ONPAGE, on page [4082] <CR>

By process of elimination we have determined what file it is that is giving
us the problem. It is a PECO diagram. The writer has redone the diagram
completely and we are still getting this error.

The way it is coded in the file is:

<format>
<ONLINE_POPUP>(syntax)
<FIGURE>
<FIGURE_FILE>(POSTSCRIPT\RDOSYNTAX$:START_TRANS.ps\8)
<FIGURE_FILE>(BOOKREADER\RDOSYNTAX$:START_TRANS.RAGS\11)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LN03\RDOSYNTAX$:START_TRANS.sixel\10)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LINE_PRINTER\RDOSYNTAX$:START_TRANS.txt\10)
<ENDFIGURE>

<FIGURE>
<FIGURE_FILE>(POSTSCRIPT\RDOSYNTAX$:DISTRIBUTED_TRANSACTION_FLAG.ps\4)
<FIGURE_FILE>(BOOKREADER\RDOSYNTAX$:DISTRIBUTED_TRANSACTION_FLAG.RAGS\5)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LN03\RDOSYNTAX$:DISTRIBUTED_TRANSACTION_FLAG.sixel\7)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LINE_PRINTER\RDOSYNTAX$:DISTRIBUTED_TRANSACTION_FLAG.txt\7)
<ENDFIGURE>

<FIGURE>
<FIGURE_FILE>(POSTSCRIPT\RDOSYNTAX$:TX_OPTIONS.ps\13)
<FIGURE_FILE>(BOOKREADER\RDOSYNTAX$:TX_OPTIONS.RAGS\18)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LN03\RDOSYNTAX$:TX_OPTIONS.sixel\16)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LINE_PRINTER\RDOSYNTAX$:TX_OPTIONS.txt\16)
<ENDFIGURE>

<FIGURE>
<FIGURE_FILE>(POSTSCRIPT\RDOSYNTAX$:EVALUATING.ps\4)
<FIGURE_FILE>(BOOKREADER\RDOSYNTAX$:EVALUATING.RAGS\5)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LN03\RDOSYNTAX$:EVALUATING.sixel\6)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LINE_PRINTER\RDOSYNTAX$:EVALUATING.txt\6)
<ENDFIGURE>

<FIGURE>
<FIGURE_FILE>(POSTSCRIPT\RDOSYNTAX$:RESERVING.ps\10)
<FIGURE_FILE>(BOOKREADER\RDOSYNTAX$:RESERVING.RAGS\14)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LN03\RDOSYNTAX$:RESERVING.sixel\12)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LINE_PRINTER\RDOSYNTAX$:RESERVING.txt\12)
<ENDFIGURE>

<FIGURE>
<FIGURE_FILE>(POSTSCRIPT\RDOSYNTAX$:ON_CLAUSE.ps\5)
<FIGURE_FILE>(BOOKREADER\RDOSYNTAX$:ON_CLAUSE.RAGS\6)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LN03\RDOSYNTAX$:ON_CLAUSE.sixel\6)
<FIGURE_FILE>(LINE_PRINTER\RDOSYNTAX$:ON_CLAUSE.txt\6)
<ENDFIGURE>
<ENDONLINE_POPUP>
<endformat>

The last <figure> ON_CLAUSE.RAGS is the offending PECO diagram. This is
part of a command section. 

We have DOCUMENT V1.2B installed.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

307.1You need <ENDONLINE_POPUP>CLOSET::UTTMon Apr 02 1990 19:4412
    You have no <ENDONLINE_POPUP> tag. You should have gotten an error
    message from the tag translator saying that there was no matching
    <ENDONLINE_POPUP>. Please check the tag translator section of your
    log file and let me know if you did *not* get such a message. (In
    that case, you have found a bug we should fix.)
    
    <ONLINE_POPUP> is not very smart: I do not know if it will allow
    multiple <figure>...<endfigure> tag sequences in a single
    popup. If it does, fine. If not, let me know by posting a reply
    to this note.

307.2There is an <ENDONLINE_POPUP> tagREORG::JALBERTTue Apr 03 1990 10:2723
Hi Mary,

There is an <ENDONLINE_POPUP> before the <ENDFORMAT> tag. We put it there
because we began the <ONLINE_POPUP> after the <FORMAT>.

Also, this is a huge book, about 700 pages, and has many other 
multiple <figure>'s set up exactly the same way, so I believe
that <ONLINE_POPUP> works around multiple figures. We've been building
this book for quite some time now with no problems. This isn't anything
new that we have added either. We were getting a different error:

%PAS-F-ERRDURNEW, error during NEW
-LIB-F-BADBLOADR, bad block address

about a week or two ago. This error is what made the writer re-create the 
PECO diagram from scratch. After he did that we then got the error message 
in this topic. They magically went away and the book built fine for about 
a week now and then the error appeared again. I was going to report it
then but it went away and then I forgot about it until it re-appeared.

Do you know what else it could be?

    I think this is a disk problem on your node.  It is possible that the 
    disk and or your file have been corrupted.  Check with your system
    manager.  In the meantime, get a backup of the file, but put it on
    another disk and see if your problem goes away.

Thanks I'll have one of them check it out, but this error has gone away
and our main concern is the other error mentioned.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

307.5send files...RAGMOP::UTTWed Apr 04 1990 11:3110
    Sally,
    
    Sorry, first time through I didn't see your <endonline_popup> and
    thought it was missing. If you send me the section that contains
    that code and pointers to the .rags files, I will take a look at
    it.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Mary
307.6Check protections on Rags fileRAGMOP::FITZELLput nifty saying hereWed Apr 04 1990 13:477
    also send the rags file. The error message (for want of a better term)
    is saying it couldn't open the figure file.  I apologize for the pretty
    unhelpful message and will have it fixed in the next release.  You may 
    want to check protections on the file to make sure it is accesible to
    the person doing the build.
    
    Mike 
307.7Protection on file is (RWED,RWED,RE,RE)REORG::JALBERTWed Apr 04 1990 19:0912
Hi Mike,

I checked the protection on the files in the directory where the bookbuild
occurs and they are protected (RWED,RWED,RE,RE). There are a total of
290 .RAGS files done with PECO in this manual and they are protected the
same way and they all work. I have sent a pointer to Mary as to where the
files are for this. 

Thanks!

Sally

307.8only one figure?STAR::KRAETSCHNeXt Window PleaseThu Apr 05 1990 10:406
It sounds like your problem is with one particular graphic.
Have you tried building a very small test book with only that graphic in
it to see if you still have the problem?  If so, I'm sure that will
make it much easier for Mike to track down.
