1888.0. "ALL-IN-1 hangs when displaying HELP on GOLD M" by ZUR01::TOLBA () Wed Dec 02 1992 09:25

ALL-IN-1 hangs on Form TMSTG_OPTIONS1 when viewing help text in German version:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Tested with ALL-IN-1 V2.4 and V3.0 German. The English version is doing fine)


Hello,

In the German version of ALL-IN-1 there is the following problem when using 
HELP on GOLD M menu within time management:

If you access in the German version the Option Tasks in Time Management, 
make an Index and press GOLD M (MAIN TP AG I {CR} {GOLD M})  
(in English: MAIN TM T I <CR> <GOLD M>).
 	
On Form TMSTG_OPTIONS1 press HELP.  With Carriage Return you go through the
list of help text until the end of the list. 

The last accessible windows shows the following topic list:

  25      Monats�bersicht                                                     
  26      Monats�bersicht drucken                                             
  27      Markierung zur�cknehmen                                             
  28      M�glichkeiten, Markierungen zur�ckzunehmen                          
  29      Termine                                                             
  30      Termine und Aufgaben drucken                                        
  31      Termine drucken                                                     
  32      �bersicht der Termine             


At this point you are not able anymore to leave the help text with either 
<CR> or <EXIT SCREEN>.  You have to leave ALL-IN-1 completely by CTRL/Y.



The Trace File in the English version shows that the Form OA$HELP_TOP will be
closed correctly:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

![INPUT]  Terminal input follows:
 {CR}

![FORM]   Form: OA$HELP_TOP, Field: SCROLLED_TEXT/0, Page: 1, Key Value: {CR}

![INPUT]  Terminal input follows:
ex {CR}



In the German version:
----------------------

![INPUT]  Terminal input follows:
 {CR}

![FORM]   Form = OA$HELP_TOP, Field = SCROLLED_TEXT/0, Page = 1, Key Value = {CR
!               }
![FUNC]   Function = OA$FLD_DONE, Cmd line =
![FLOW]   Undisplaying all workspaces
--> Here it stops and you have to abort by CTRL/Y


If anybody has some suggestions, ideas  how to solve this problem I would be 
grateful otherwise I will SPR it.

    Hi,
    
    You can check that the help library itself is OK by typing from DCL:
    
    $help/libr=oa$lib:oahelp
    
    Then select topic TMSTG_OPTIONS1
    
    From ALL-IN-1 in English the last few entries are:
    
      30      Canceling All Your Selected Tasks                             
      31      Printing All Your Selected Tasks                              
      32      Displaying All Your Selected Tasks                            
      33  Getting Help in ALL-IN-1
    
    These don't seem to match the German translation so all does not look
    well with the German version of OA$HELP.
    
    There are known problems in the ALL-IN-1 code that will cause infinite
    loops if the help library is incorrect.
    
    Cheers

Hello Stuart,


Thanks for your info about OAHELP.

I had a look to TMSTG_OPTIONS1.HLB:

after changed:
2 TUA =TMMENU TUA =TMSTG_OPTIONS1 CHOICE 1

to:
2 TUA
=TMMENU TUA =TMSTG_OPTIONS1 CHOICE 1


it works fine.

There are also CHOICE2 and CHOICE3 definitions which have to be removed.

I will make a SPR so this could be fixed in a future release.


Thanks for your help and regards,

Manuela 

    Don't forget you need to send your SPR to the LC as described in Note
    1788.8
