Error: The limit for backup movements (\) has been reached.

[COLIN GLASS]

Just to inform all of you of a bug that we encountered with PowerHouse
7.29C8.  In Quick, if you have a clustered screen and you are in entry mode,
if you delete a line from that clustered screen and update, you'll receive the
message "The limit for backup movements (\) has been reached."  This can
cause problems updating information on any number of datasets.

Cognos had already recognized this bug, and has been identified as bug
#115506.

To get around this problem, I suggested to our users to do the following:
1.  Before deleting a line, update the page/screen.
2.  Go into find mode and find the screen with the item/record in question.
3.  Delete the record and update.

This only reduces the problem.  However, to prevent it, we have found two
ways:

1.  Do not allow the users to delete items/records from the screen.  In our
case, this situation occurs in an order entry system, so the users can zero out
the quantity and update.

2.  Have a check if in entrymode and deletedrecord, then produce an error
message.

If anyone else has encountered this problem, and has another resolution,
please let me know.  I haven't made a permanent fix to this problem, and
am temporarily looking at option 1 above for a fix.  Any help would be
appreciated.  We are using HP3000 with a TurboImage database on
PowerHouse 7.29C8.
