Title: deleting traces of a past company
Post by stl3370 on 12/18/03 at 12:13:52

Using Evo with latest update.

Occasionally, I create test companies that I copy from our live data to play with new features. I deleted one of these companies, but now I occasionally get error messages in Evo. For example, when I try to change companies, I get the message "Cannot open the BKSYMSTR file for company B98." And then it functions okay. The company code does not appear in Create/Delete Company and I have recreated the DDF files several times. There must be traces of this company code somewhere. Does anyone know where to look?

Thanks,
Sean

Download the file from http://www.istechsupport.com/datadict.asp and follow the instructions to clear the residue of the deleted company. You will also need to do this when creating a new company - create it using the old TAS 5 DBA menu, then reinstall the downloaded files and rebuild the TAS 6 dictionary.

Tried this today as I was getting the system ready for the new year. But when I get to running TAS6EVO from the server, I have the following problem. The license screen comes up fine, then I get the following error: "A record was not found in FILELOC for file BKSYMSTR.B -2. The must be a record for each file opened." I then get a file open error for BKSYMSTR and Evo does not start. Does anyone know what I should try now?

Thanks,
Sean

Is FILELOC.B located in the DBAMFG folder? Does EVO load OK from your workstation still?

Yes, FILELOC.B is in the DBAMFG folder and I get the same error message from a workstation.

Found the answer in an old e-mail. Had to modify the taspro6.ini to call WTASCVTDICT.RWN instead of DBAMENU_FLEX.RWN. Utility ran fine. Switched tas6pro.ini back and we're up and running with Evo again.

Thanks,
