070901 - Follow up
070902 -
070903 - A problem converting SDS records into HTML for display on the
070904 - Internet, and running under Windows 98, on Gary's home computer, could
070905 - not be resolved.  Analysis suggests the problem occurs from work on
070906 - 040214. ref SDS 0 7F4K  Sent a letter to Gary linked to this record
070907 - asking him to glance through the work on 040214, and if that does not
070908 - yield a solution, then we can use debug run from his computer at home.

0712 - Problem
0713 -
071301 - Gary reported today that the function for converting SDS records into
071302 - HTML for display on the Internet is failing on his home computer that
071303 - runs under w98.
071304 -
071305 -     [On 040615 solved problem. ref SDS 4 0001
071307 -  ..
071308 - He indicated that routine runs to completion and reports success, but
071309 - there is no actual file created in the wt directory.
071311 -  ..
071312 - While setting up this record to review the problem, made a mistake and
071313 - entered an incorrect account in the function Control Field.  Opening
071314 - the Subject Index then failed, indicating that the error message
071315 - system for the Function Control Field look up is, also, broke.

0716 - Analysis
0717 -
071701 - Gary did not indicate if the error also occurs at work.  He is not
071702 - publishing records to the Internet, but records are converted into
071703 - HTML for distribution among his team and others who attend meetings.
071704 - Since there have been no complaints converting records at work, this
071705 - suggests that the problem may be isolated to using SDS under w98,
071706 - which further suggests that the batch files that set environment
071707 - variables could be at issue.
071709 -  ..
071710 - First impression is that environment variables are the only
071711 - differences in the code for w98 from w2000 and XP.
071713 -  ..
071714 - The immediate idea that comes to mind is that the work to introduce a
071715 - new memory segment level to process References, could have incorrectly
071716 - applied the environment variable system.
071718 -  ..
071719 - The last work on this matter occurred on 040214. ref SDS 1 0001
071721 -  ..
071722 - Review on 040214 indicates that changes only related to records with
071723 - more than 1800 lines. ref SDS 1 VF4I  Generally, Gary has not been
071724 - creating records that exceed 1800 lines, so this seems to reduce the
071725 - chance that this work caused the problem reported today.
071727 -  ..
071728 - At that time, 040214, batch file 070405.bat was modified to copy
071729 - various segments that are created separately. ref SDS 1 WV4F  Gary
071730 - indicated this morning that he examined the batch files, and did not
071731 - see anything that looked like a problem.
071733 -  ..
071734 - Also, on 040214 a new batch file, 070405a.bat, was introduced to
071735 - support processing records over 1800 lines. ref SDS 1 WW3I  Nothing
071736 - seems evident in this code that would cause the problem Gary
071737 - describes.

071751 -  ..
071752 - Neither of these changes seem to have the potential for causing the
071753 - problem Gary describes, so this points to the work on 040214.
071754 - ref SDS 0 DI4K
071756 -  ..
071757 - Sent an interim response to Gary suggesting he check the work on
071758 - 040214 to see if anything jumps out at him, and if not, then we can
071759 - use debug to step throught the code when he has time at home.
