843.0. "CAL$ATTENDEE / #CAL_ATTN_xxxx questions" by BERN02::MUELLERS () Wed Jun 10 1992 10:27

The documentation of the CAL$ATTENDEE DSAB (Ref1 p.7-17) states that this DSAB 
contains a field called FILLER which is intended for customization purposes.

I had to customize the time management for a customer during the last weeks and 
I saw that this field does NOT exist. Is this an error in documentation or is 
something incorrect with the CAL$ATTENDEE DSAB?

Another question in connection with CAL$ATTENDEE concerns the script 
OA$DO:TMSEV_ATTSYM.SCP. This script is intended to load the #cal_attn_xxxxx 
symbols which are use by several calendar functions. If you have a look at this
script you'll see that the key used to load the contents of the fields of 
CAL$ATTENDEE into symbols is #cal_meeting_pointer. At my opinion this is 
incorrect because the key of cal$attendee is built of the meeting_pointer 
plus the attendee's username. That means, after completing this script all 
#cal_attn_xxxxx symbols are "".

Am I wrong or does the described ALL-IN-1 code contain some errors?

    This is, in fact, a bug.
    
    There is enough space in the file (record length = 251) to hold the
    filler field, but the data-set is incorrectly defined in the code (note
    to developers - field-count in the $DSAB declaration in OACMA.BLI is 8;
    should be 9 - note that the FDT also needs changing, as it defines
    field 'REMOTE_ATTENDEE' which is commented out of the FNT!).
    
    If you'd like this fixed, please submit an SPR.
    
    Dave.

        This problem has already been reported and has a THR number
        assigned to it.  I don't dare give the number here for fear 
        this note would be hidden!  ~/~

    Do I detect a sense of despondency about TM from my colleagues a few
    miles up I-85.
