When trying to edit a dictionary file with WED, the record fails to load and the GUI screen displays an error message.
Using the command WED DICT CN.FLE CN.01, the message that I see is "Unable to open item CN.FLE,CN.01 because it appears to be a folder or file definition." I put a PRINT command in the WED program and the NEWCMDS variable used to start ATWED32.EXE contains /T=MVDB /H=$24446 /A=CSF.DC /F="DICT CN.FLE" /I=CN.01 I am running Accuterm 7.1c sp2 (7.1.2025) along with the 7.2.5 host programs. I also tried using the 7.2.14 version of FTSVRSUB, but got the same results. The host programs were compiled for the OAS environment running on Windows. Is there anything I can do to provide more information to solve this problem? We also have the host programs installed on a Sun Solaris server, and it has no problem editing a DICT record. |

Hi Auctor -
It is possible that there is a bug in the Oasys code in the AccuTerm host programs. WED maps the host file structure into a DOS-like hierarchy, and traditionally, dictionary files could contain records that reference data level files. I don't think this is true on Oasys, but the program might be mis-identifying records that look like file pointers, which would be interpreted by WED as a directory. For one of the problem items, what is on the first two lines of the item? Thanks, Pete |

Pete,
This appears to be a generic problem. I tried it on both D and I dictionary records and it failed on both. :ED DICT CN.FLE CN.01 AP.NAME < 1 > Top of "CN.01" in "DICT CN.FLE", 7 lines, 31 characters. *--: P 001: D STATUS CODE 002: 1 003: 004: STÿCD 005: 3L 006: M 007: PH1 Bottom. *--: Q < 2 > Top of "AP.NAME" in "DICT CN.FLE", 9 lines, 161 characters. *--: P 001: I 002: AP.01:', ':AP.02[1,20] 003: 004: NCP NAME 005: 20L 006: 007: |

I have a packet capture of my session using Wireshark. Would that help?

Is anyone actively working on this problem? I have not heard anything since my initial post.
