Screen Linkage Parameters

[Bruin, J.M. de]

Darren,

could there be a difference in the record LAYOUT?
Though it might be that the actual record length matches the in development and
production there might be a redefinition (f.i.) that's bothering you.
Did you try compiling both calling AND called screen?

Hi all,

I'm getting the following error.

       *d* The screen linkage parameters sizes are incompatible.

Normally this is easy to figure out because the size of the items being 
passed do not match. In this case the size of the file record being 
passed does match. I have confirmed via QShow and an Oracle Describe 
that the table is identical.  I even performed a diff on the QShow 
output. The table has not changed since before the earlier compiled code.

I have tried compiling the screen both in production and development. In 
either case, the error appears in production. When I compile in 
development and execute there, it works. The difference is the calling 
screen in development is a more recent compile from a current project we 
are working on. Moving the current production screen to development 
displays the same error.

Any ideas or experience about what can be throwing this out of sync?  
Perhaps a dictionary change in development not brought forward into 
production? Oracle table changes such as indexes?

Here are the code snippets:

;CALLING SCREEN
file lot_step_summ in mfg
...
procedure designer gilf &
  help "Generate ILF lot id."
begin
  run screen inv_gilf mode e passing lot_step_summ
  display ilf of lot_step_summ
  let t_need_update = "Y"
end ;

CALLED SCREEN
file lot_step_summ in mfg master
...
screen inv_gilf activities find, change, entry &
  receiving lot_step_summ &
  on line 10 for 14 message on line 24 &
  mode at 2,2 action at 2,9


We are running Powerhouse 8.23.D7
on Solaris 2.8 (SunOS 5.8)
with Oracle 8.1.7.4.0


I have discussed this with Cognos. We were unable identify the cause.

I'll likely have to recompile the calling screen, but it too is a called 
screen. So I'm looking to find the root cause.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Darren
