3223.0. "Programming query on the update of OA$CURDOC_AUTHOR" by GIDDAY::LEH () Thu Sep 02 1993 02:54

IOS 3.0 programming question

A customized system allowed its users to change personal details in form SPD, 
such as full name, which then *immediately* updates this detail, seen with new 
user name on top left hand of a menu. This custom code couldn't however update 
*instantly* the value used by Create Mail for Author field, i.e. symbol 
OA$CURDOC_AUTHOR, which thus requires the session exit and re-entry.

Note that the vanilla version 2.4 and 3.0 always require session exit.

Customer claimed the same piece of code worked under 2.4

Any comments on the different behaviour between versions and programming tips 
would be much appreciated

3223.1Need to restart mail?IOSG::MAURICEDifferently hirsuteThu Sep 02 1993 08:2313
    Hi Hong,
    
    I think this change in V3 might have been caused by the new SMU code.
    Can you get your customer to try adding calls to 
    
    	MAIL CLOSE_SYSTEM
    	MAIL INITIALIZE
    
    after the details have changed, and see if that works.
    
    Thanks

3223.2didn't seem to workGIDDAY::LEHFri Sep 03 1993 07:4827
    Hello Stuart
    
    Thanks for assisting but it didn't work.
    
    Customer added calls MAIL CLOSE_SYSTEM and MAIL INITIALIZE as post
    processing in form SPD, e.g.
    
    ;;.TYPE;;
    
    ENTRY /MODE=CHANGE/KEY=USER/SAVE_START=OA$USER/DATA=PROFIL
    /HARD=OA$_US_HRD_SPD
    /POST="IFEXIT\
    mail close_system
    mail initialize
    \GET #DDS_ACCOUNT = OA$USER\DO SUBSCRIBER_CHANGE_INTERACTIVE
    \GET #UPDT_USER=OA$USER\DO SMNETUPDT"
     
    ;;.FORM_SET;;
    
    .......................
    
    Did the above changes invoke correct calling procedure ? 
    
    Thanks for any other suggestion

3223.3Try it on the US formIOSG::MAURICEDifferently hirsuteFri Sep 03 1993 15:009
    Hi Hong,
    
    I don't know whether it makes a difference but I would not have it done
    it in the post-processing of the entry form, but rather on the US
    form in the Named Data for SPD. Worth a try!
    
    Cheers
