131417 -     I have a couple of Diary records that show up in the Diary but get
131418 -     a "Does not exist" error when I try to open them. The error
131419 -     message says that the file name that is being expected is
131420 -     displayed, but it isn't until after pressing <enter>, which
131421 -     confused me. ref DRT 3 XV6G  The problem records are:

131428 -
131429 -        I checked and found that these records are also missing on my
131430 -        set of records for Gary.
131431 -
131432 -        Occasionally, a record will be deleted, but the pointers are
131433 -        not updated, typically this occurs when the memory issue arises
131434 -        from what I am guessing is fragmented main memory, that is
131435 -        similar to fragmented hard disk space.
131436 -
131437 -        There are two conditions....
131438 -
131439 -          1.  Record should not be deleted and so the record is missing
131440 -              by mistake.  It should be restored from the most recent
131441 -              backup.
131442 -
131443 -               ..
131444 -          2.  Record should be deleted, and so pointers that are still
131445 -              archived must be removed as well, using following
131446 -              procedure.
131447 -
131448 -              Note:  if there is a record that is to be deleted, this
131449 -              can be done using the Diary menu in the record.  Then
131450 -              none of following steps are needed.  These steps are used
131451 -              when a glitch occurs and the record is missing, but
131452 -              pointer files are still there.  Pointer files need to be
131453 -              maintained in order to avoid reports that show records
131454 -              which do not exist.
131455 -
131456 -                   ..
131457 -              a.  Use the editor and press F1 F3 to open the File
131458 -                  Access menu.
131459 -
131460 -              b.  Enter the spec for the record descriptions...

131465 -                   ..
131466 -                  ...where "uuuuu" is the user ID, for Gary that is
131467 -                  gljdy, and "yy" is the two digit string for the year.
131468 -                  For Gary at this time this will be 02, and since
131469 -                  there are no the records, the year param can be
131470 -                  omitted altogether.
131471 -
131472 -                  Note:  use start with "04" because this is the record
131473 -                  description that has a string which shows up in the
131474 -                  Diary Summary which disclosed the issue, and so it is
131475 -                  fast and easy to recognize the record ID strings in
131476 -                  the weekly pointer file is the one to be deleted.
131477 -

131481 -                  You will get a list of weekly pointer files for the
131482 -                  missing record.
131483 -
131484 -                   ..
131485 -              c.  Open the file number corresponding to the week for
131486 -                  the target record.  Typically just approximate it,
131487 -                  and when you move the cursor to the line and press
131488 -                  Enter, this opens the file and you can tell
131489 -                  immediately if the file has the pointers for the file
131490 -                  you want because the date and time are in the left
131491 -                  column.  If this is the wrong weekly pointer file,
131492 -                  press ESC to close it and open the next back or up.
131493 -
131494 -                   ..
131495 -              d.  Scroll up in the file to the records with the date of
131496 -                  the missing record, and find the line with
131497 -                  description of the record that is missing which was
131498 -                  displayed in the Diary Summary, and note the time ID
131499 -                  string, since this is needed to find the
131500 -                  corresponding entries in the other pointer files.
131501 -
131502 -                  Alt F8 deletes the line with the description of the
131503 -                  missing record.
131504 -
131505 -                  Once you delete the record description, there will no
131506 -                  longer be a listing in the Diary Summary for the
131507 -                  missing record.

131521 -                  lines, and you know it is the right one, because it
131522 -                  has the same spec as for the Record Description,

190609 -    == Anchor Insert Breaks Headline
190610 -
190611 -    I had one instance where Save inserted an anchor into a headline
190612 -    and then wrapped the underline onto the end of the heading. Since
190613 -    this is hard to reproduce, I don't know how to test it easily.
190614 -    Using F1 F3 to insert and anchor doesn't wrap the headline, but it
190615 -    does put the anchor on the same line as the headline. We might
190616 -    consider *always* creating anchors on a line by themselves just
190617 -    before the paragraph. It may sound strange, but I think they are
190618 -    less obtrusive that way. ref DRT 3 PPWQ
190619 -
190620 -  ..
190621 - There are many scenarios that might have led to the problem Gary
190622 - reports.
190623 -
190624 - Without being there it is difficult to see what formatting issues
190625 - might have caused this condition.
190626 -
190627 - Might try editing the headline and starting over.
190628 -
190629 -  ..
190630 - Be sure to either manually putting anchors above headlines, or
190631 - letting the system do it with save.
190632 -
190633 - I agree that putting anchors above paragraphs is less obtrusive, and
190634 - it provides a better setting when the record is converted to HTML and
190635 - displayed in a browser, because the extra line gives a better visual
190636 - sense of spacing.
190637 -
190638 -  ..
190639 - Right now we have a mixed situation.
190640 -
190641 -     The justify feature enables people to have an anchor above the
190642 -     para and avoids placing in the text of the para.
190643 -
190644 -     If the user justifies from the line with anchor it will put the
190645 -     anchor in the para, so people can choose what they want.
190646 -
190647 -     The code that adds anchors automatically to para embeds them as
190648 -     the default condition, because it seemed like the easiest thing do
190649 -     do at the time.
190650 -
190651 -  ..
190652 - Notice all of the anchors in Rod's records have the anchor on the
190653 - line above a paragraph.

240508 -     ..
240509 -    == Titles Off Doesn't Work From Schedule
240510 -
240511 -    I had an error in the title of a Diary record that I created from
240512 -    the schedule. I tired to change it with "Titles Off" from the Diary
240513 -    record, but it didn't work. Editing the title in the schedule
240514 -    worked fine once I remembered it. ref DRT 3 PPXR
240515 -
240516 -    This is a difference between the way the Schedule works and the way
240517 -    the Diary works. I don't see why they shouldn't both work the same
240518 -    way. If the title could be edited from the Diary screen, then the
240519 -    "Titles Off" function would be redundant. Failing that, "Titles
240520 -    Off" should work for a record in the Schedule as well. ref DRT 3
240521 -    XO6G
240522 -
240523 -    This is likely related to another problem I had using a follow up
240524 -    line in the SAA to try to jump to a record in the Schedule. Perhaps
240525 -    we need to make certain that Diary record in the schedule are
240526 -    included in some of these branching attempts. ref DRT 3 PO6N
240527 - ..
240528 - Titles off is needed in an archived Diary record (one that is
240529 - dated prior to today) because "titles" are on in a diary record so
240530 - that when the screen is scrolled up the description will continue to
240531 - display.
240532 -
240533 - Displaying the record description is a helpful visual aid.
240534 -
240535 -  ..
240536 - The description of a diary record cannot be changed directly, because
240537 - access to those lines are protected by a command like tl 3 that
240538 - enables titles for 3 lines.  Executing tl 0 from the command line or
240539 - using Titles Off in the menu turns this off temporarily so the
240540 - description can be edited.
240541 -
240542 -  ..
240543 - Since the the description of an archived diary record does not exist
240544 - in the Schedule, there is no ability to edit the description of an
240545 - archived diary record in the Schedule.  Therefore titles off is needed
240546 - in an archived diary record, but not for a current diary record, nor
240547 - for a schedule task.

240550 - For a current diary record we want to ensure conformity between the
240551 - description in the Schedule and in the diary record.  Therefore,
240552 - changing the description of a current diary record or a schedule task
240553 - can only be done from the Schedule, and so there is no need for Titles
240554 - Off in a current diary record and a scheduled task.
240555 -
240556 - Titles off is not needed in the Schedule because the description is
240557 - typed directly in the Schedule.

240565 -
240566 -     2.  Press ESC to close the record, and return to the Schedule.
240567 -         ..
240568 -     3.  If there are several records and files in memory you may
240569 -         have to use Ctrl F6 or click on CMD in upper left corner to
240570 -         switch to the Schedule.
240571 -
240572 -     4.  In the Schedule type over the current description for the
240573 -         record to be revised, and press Enter.
240574 -
240575 -         This saves the new description in the Schedule, opens the
240576 -         record and writes the new description and saves the file, so
240577 -         the description in the record is the same as in the Schedule.

290408 -    == Formatting Errors on Save / Wrap
290409 -
290410 -    I have experienced several random errors in formatting records.
290411 -
290412 -     ..
290413 -    The problems appear to be related to wrapping lines.
290414 -
290415 -       Some new records had line numbers wrapped into the paragraph
290416 -
290417 -        ..
290418 -       I had a line number continue to be pulled into the last line of
290419 -         a record during a Save operation. This appears to be caused by
290420 -         trying to edit to close to the last available line of the
290421 -         file. Adding more lines seemed to fix the problem. ref DRT 3
290422 -         PQPR
290423 -
290424 -  ..
290425 - Gary makes a good point.
290426 -
290427 - It is good practice for flexible structure to maintain 5 to 10 blank
290428 - lines at the end of a record.  Similarly, entries in the Reference
290429 - field should have a blank line below the last entry.
290430 -
290431 - Flexible structure in SDS is fragile and so sensitive to formatting,
290432 - as discussed previously on 021104. ref SDS 53 QATW
290433 -
290434 -  ..
290435 - The format Gary shows in his letter where a series of lines has one
290436 - line at the top that is offset from the others, per above. ref SDS 0
290437 - WW6M causes failure of the Alt F9 justify and wordwrap feature.  SDS
290438 - uses a design where a para is identified by a series of lines all
290439 - beginning on the same column and with a blank above and below.
290440 -
290441 -  ..
290442 - If the example above did not have an anchor, and if it occurred where
290443 - the algorithm that adds anchors for the save function calculated that
290444 - an anchor was needed, then an anchor would be added and SDS would
290445 - attempt to justify the lines, resulting in a mess, because the lines
290446 - are not lined up.

340607 -     ..
340608 -    == Lost Follow Up Items in SAA
340609 -
340610 -    The SAA record was missing some Follow Up items that I knew I had
340611 -    enter 3. This probably occurred while I was having archiving
340612 -    problems. ref DRT 3 PQQU
340613 -
340614 -     ..
340615 -    I revisited all of the records (no way to search for them) and
340616 -    saved each record with a Follow Up highlight. This fixed the
340617 -    probl 4. ref DRT 3 265K
340618 -
340619 -     ..
340620 -    Apparently I had missed a record, so I tried to resave that one,
340621 -    and it didn't work. I restarted SDS and tried again, but it still
340622 -    didn't wo j. ref DRT 3 865O
340623 -
340624 -     ..
340625 -    I added a line to a record in order to test this, and both lines
340626 -    showed up in the SAA record. This is strange. I did open the SAA
340627 -    record each time to refresh it. ref DRT 3 F66J
340628 -
340629 -
340630 -  ..
340631 - Sounds like Gary followed good recovery procedures, and solved some
340632 - of the issues.
340633 -
340634 - Gary is showing sophisticated understanding of SDS by recognizing that
340635 - when a record is saved with a change in Follow Up action items, to see
340636 - it in the SAA, the SAA has to be closed and then opened, if it was in
340637 - memory when the procedure was taken. ref SDS 0 SH6J
340638 -
340639 - Hopefully Gary will be able to search for information to find it when
340640 - needed soon to correct deficit reported, per above. ref SDS 0 PH8A
340641 - Welch records being sent to Gary periodically indicate a procedure
340642 - creating record segments and organic structures that make finding
340643 - information fast and easy.

410509 -    indicates that there is some advantage for including multiple
410510 -    levels of the index in the records. I was after KeyNote Recipes,
410511 -    but all the records had KeyNote. The Recipes category under that
410512 -    should be KeyNote Recipes, combining 2 levels of the index in a
410513 -    single subject. ref DRT 3 WF7K
