| 1003.2 | typos in OA.A1$MSG | UTRTSC::SCHOLLAERT | IOS: better than the real thing | Wed Jul 08 1992 11:57 | 28 | 
|  |     
    Hi Sunil,
    
    >Could you please test this for me in Australia 
    Sorry, my boss won't let me.
    
    Problem looks like a typo.
    
    Entries for file message operations in OA.A1$MSG contain wrong text:
XFO_FILE_MESSAGE_0	<No messages have been crossfiled>
XFO_FILE_MESSAGE_1	<1 message has been crossfiled>
XFO_FILE_MESSAGE_MANY	<!AS messages have been crossfiled>/FAO_COUNT=1
    You and our customers can add the corrected version of
    these messages thought CM in SITEOA.A1$MSG... (element = SITEOA,
    type = A1$MSG). 
    
    Regards,

| 1003.3 | What do you want the message to say? | IOSG::MAURICE | Ceci n'est pas une note | Wed Jul 08 1992 13:07 | 9 | 
|  |     Just clarifying - you do know that File Message is a crossfile? So with
    that in mind the text of the message is not really wrong. In fact it
    may help the user realise that FM = XFD. Many of us wanted to change FM
    into RFD, but this was rejected on the grounds that we could not change
    the behaviour of existing functionality.
    
    Cheers

| 1003.4 | consistency | UTRTSC::SCHOLLAERT | IOS: better than the real thing | Wed Jul 08 1992 13:42 | 10 | 
|  |     >               -< What do you want the message to say? >-
    
    I want consistency between the option text and the result message.
    
    So the menu option  "XFM     File messages" should finish
    with "messages filed".
    
    Regards,

| 1003.6 | Just some food for thought | GIDDAY::SETHI | Man from Downunder | Thu Jul 09 1992 00:48 | 21 | 
|  |     G'day,                          
    
    I should have realized that the XFM and FM option do cross-file
    messages.  I had to customize a this option a few years ago at a site
    to not cross-file.
    
    Is there a reason why FM and XFM cross file messages ?  In a
    conventional office this would not happen as far as I know.  Apart from
    that we do have Cross-file options called XFD and XFF, I know they are
    for documents and not EM's.  Just for consistency it would be a good
    idea that the FM etc. options do not cross-file and the cross-file ones
    do.  Just some food for thought.

    I just missed a full stop, just think you could have got a trip to 
    Australia because of a missing full stop :-).

|  |     I'm sure someone with even more historical trivia wasting most of their
    brain space will correct me on this, but I believe this behaviour is
    probably another of those things that we did to make the product look
    more like DECmail....

	Strange!  You make FM be a crossfile so it works like DECmail. 
	I would guess the demand for this came from internal users? We 
have been customizing FM to be a refile on our internal systems since 2.2
or maybe earlier.
	Ah well, I guess this keeps everyone busy :-).
