The following has occurred regularly with J601. It is similar to Philip's problem, but may not be related, so may be worth reporting here.

error in  jijs_fileopen_button
file access error:  recent_save
  dat 1!:2 < RECENTFILE

If the error is OK'd and the File Open is repeated the error does not recur with the second access.

However it can reoccur after a series of File Open actions on other folders.

I cannot try out the current beta as the organization where the problem arises has a policy which does not permit installation of beta's on their system.

The problem occurs on networked machines and was put down by the users to there being some file ownership control which caused it. That seems unlikely in view of it disappearing on a repeated access.

It looks to me as if any changes to the file paths will cause the
File->Recent dialog to fail with the following message:

wdhandler
error in jijs_filerecent_button
index error: tofoldername
nam=.( >ndx     (pds),(<ndx{len)}.nam

experiments tried (separately):

1. in profile.ijs : change the def of tmp to tmp=.'c:\work\jwrk'
from tmp=. usr,'\temp

2. in the configure gui: under Folders add a folder called Work,
pointing to c:\work\jwrk.


Is this a known problem, and can anyone suggest a fix?

Chris Burke replied:

I cannot reproduce this. It is possible there was a bug fixed in a more
recent beta.

Otherwise, please try to track this down. The program being executed is:

  cocurrent 'jijs'
  tofoldername RECENT

i.e. tofoldername is failing on one of the items in RECENT.
