3566.0. "Need to REORDER a form library" by NEWVAX::MZARUDZKI (I AXPed it, and it is thinking...) Tue Nov 23 1993 13:25

    
     Greetings,
    
     I need to clean up a customers form library, it has been abused.
     I would like to reorder the forms in the library, make them pleasing
     to behold... have found reorder.com in oa$lib. Reorder.com says it
     is submitted from SM, where? When I try to run it at DCL level passing
     the form library as p1 it croaks on the trim cld with the error
     "XPO-E-TEXT, error closing 'UD1:[ALLIN1.SITE.LIB_ENGLISH]FORMS.COM;1'
    for input
    -XPO-E-FREE_MEM, dynamic memory deallocation error
    -XPO-E-BAD_ADDR, invalid memory address
    %XPO-E-PREV_ERROR, program terminated due to previous error"
    
    My memory looks ok, what gives?

3566.2Need to "sort" the forms internal to the libraryNEWVAX::MZARUDZKII AXPed it, and it is thinking...Tue Nov 23 1993 15:2110
    
     re .-1
    
     yes, that reorganizes and cleans up disk space. Do we have anything
    that reorders, "sorts", the forms internally in the library. Or must
    I externally fms/create a new library and manually stick back the forms
    in alphabetical sequence. Sorry for not being clear on this.
    
    -Thanks in advance.

    REORDER hasn't worked since v2.2 there's even a STARS article
    FMS Form Library REORDER Functionality No Longer Available Since V2.2

3566.4Why bother?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Dec 21 1993 13:055
    My understanding is that sorting the forms into alphabetical order
    didn't give you any performance gain anyway. We build a Balanced Binary
    Tree of the names in memory when the library is opened.

    -< Why bother? >-
    
    because it looks nice when I query it outside of ALL-IN-1.
