<pre>All,
I am looking for wisdom and inspiration after attempting to figure out whats
going on with a quick screen that does not like a file reference.
1. I cannot change the quick screen
2. The quick screen has the statement FILE A designer
3. File A is a flat ascii file
4. I want file A to be a msg file so I build (B) an exact copy of A but add ;msg
5. I then file equate FILE A=B,old;shr
6. The screen ERRORS
Data access error. (A)
OPERATION INCONSISTENT WITH ACCESS TYPE (FSERR 40)
7. I have tried as many combinations of the file equation as I can think of
FILE A=B,old;shr
FILE A=B,old;shr;acc=append
FILE A=B,old;shr;msg;acc=append
etc
8. This issue only arises when B is a msg file. If I create B as a std file then
the file equation works.
I have non production version of the screen and if I change the file statement
to FILE A OPEN APPEND SHARE the screen works. With the file equation FILE
A=B,old;shr
So I was wondering if anybody has some inspiration for me.
Many thanks
Anne
