Phil,

I'd like to understand how Designer corrupts your file on save.  Are you
saying that it crashes whilst saving the file and truncates the result or
that the middle of the file is somehow "damaged"?

Sounds like you should turn on the auto-checkpoint stuff or do a
"File->Make_Checkpoint" (Ctrl-M)...

I suspect that you don't see the save dialogue when saving locally as the
save is likely complete before the dialogue is ready to come up.
Internally Designer doesn't keep your source as source but rather as a
huge data structure.  Writing out the "source" means converting this data
structure into DDS, there is no checking done or req'd.

Phil, as always, if you can send me a source file that causes Designer to
crash or tell me an _exact_ and reproducible sequence of steps to follow
that cause a crash then I'll track down that bug and squash it

Kind regards,

Mike

Reeve,


It does seem to crash more completely, and perhaps less frequently, than
before.  But I still have to do the codeexit.exe/cm exit and kill the evf*
jobs in task manager.  I never bother going in the communications daemon.

Code designer works longer before crashing.  But it still crashes.
Crashing
I can live with, but corrupting the source file I can't.  Yesterday it
corrupted about about a dozen referenced fields which I had to rekey (on a
printer file).  What code designer is doing is, when I click the save
button, it does the dds check.  Sometimes it never starts the count down.
I've noticed that if I select File|Save I don't get that problem.  I wish
it
didn't do a dds check.  I'm saving it to my PC.  I just want to save it so
that when it crashes I haven't lost (much) work.  I've only been using
V5R1
SP3 for about a week.

You know when you get from host (in CPO), the file has properties
associated
with it like the library/file(member) where it was downloaded from?  Where
is that information stored?  Do you know?

Phil
