Convert SDS Records on Internet to New HTML Format that Ope   Can Han

0404 - Summary/Objective
0405 -
040501 - Follow up ref SDS 51 0000, ref SDS 50 0000.
040502 -
040503 - Investigated files in a new list from Gary, and made adjustments where
040504 - needed and converted the files. ref SDS 0 WT4A  Several files have no
040505 - actual problem, other than they are too big to run consistently in a
040506 - data base operation, even though they convert okay individually.
040507 - ref SDS 0 DU7B  Since I am converting them today, Gary can omit them
040508 - in a subsequent conversion op he is running.  This may complete
040509 - conversion for all SDS records to render in Opera, since some of the
040510 - records in the list today are for the year 2002.  There are still a
040511 - lot of individual documents, which have not been converted, but the
040512 - major docs that Gary will likely need have already been converted.
040513 -
040514 - Submitted program update to Gary that has a small fix needed this
040515 - evening, ref SDS 0 XE6B and ref SDS 0 DU89, and transferred converted
040516 - records to web. ref SDS 0 WN5I,

040911 -  ..
040912 - This record has serious case of the problems.  The record ID on line 1
040913 - is corrupted, somehow causing characters to be entered on lines 2 and
040914 - 3, with the result the save option identifies the record as
040915 - confidential, which then prevented saving the file after correcting
040916 - it.  The record has 8 place line numbers, which was abandonded in
040917 - about 1992, and this causes 070405 to crash.  The record has no
040918 - strategic value, but provides historical context showing how SDS was
040919 - explained and perceived in the early years, so I am keeping it.
040920 -
040921 - Pushed it to the web, so Gary does not have to do this one.

040925 -
040926 - Main problem is there is no summary/objective line; the code should
040927 - correct, but maybe the content at this location is confusing the code.
040928 -
040929 - Correcting this problem enabled conversion to HTML.

040934 - This thing is causing a major crash and no format problem is evident.
040935 -
040936 - It was missing a "Follow up..." line below Summary/Objective.  I
040937 - created this and the the conversion op ran.  Then removed it and it
040938 - still runs.  Go figure???
040939 -
040940 - In any case there is no value in having this record on the Intenet,
040941 - so deleted it from the web.

040947 - line.

040950 - Actually, it appears that the following command is crasing....

040953 -            c/>/>/* *
040954 -
040955 -  ..
040956 - What seems to have occurred is that doc log fields are still hanging
040957 - around for issued and received prior, and these should not be there.
040958 -
040959 -  ..
040960 - Seems to be crashing because the change command is causing things to
040961 - happen outside the specified zone.  I think this stuff should have
040962 - already been removed.
040963 -
040964 -  ..
040965 - Yes, there is a routine that deletes the secondary doc log fields,
040966 - because they are not needed for the records on the Internet, as
040967 - reported in the record on 021216. ref SDS 51 SP4L
040968 -
040969 -  ..
040970 - Problem is that the code is looking for the bottom of the SDS records
040971 - References as the starting point to find secondary doc log fields and
040972 - delete them.  Need a different method, because currently we are
040973 - looking for a blank line below the SDS record listing, and this
040974 - particular record does not have that format, because it is not
040975 - essential for the record to function otherwise.  As a result, it is
040976 - not deleting the doc log fields and the change commmand is impacting
040977 - conditions outside the zone, which is crashing the program.  So we
040978 - had a dumb design of looking for somthing that is not essential to
040979 - the program operation, and when it turned out not to be available, we
040980 - crashed.
040981 -
040982 - Modified 070405 to fix the problem, reported in the record on 021216.

040987 -
040988 - This had an unusual problem I have never seen.  The last two lines in
040989 - the SDS References were 4 place line numbers, and so caused a similar
040990 - kind of problem that crashed the record above.
040991 -
040992 - Filling in the line number fields cleared the problem.

040997 - This record has no "Summary/Objective" -- Recent code improvements for
040998 - F2 automatically add this, but this record has not been processed
040999 - since those changes were made.

041010 - This is the record reviewing Drucker's book, and it is regularly
041011 - converted, so we know it is okay.  Most likely the problem that
041012 - crashed Gary's op is a memory issue, since it is a very large file.
041013 -
041014 - I just converted it, and did nothing to change anything, so I assume
041015 - the problem is memory.

041019 -
041020 - Problem is we have anchor symbols used for number signs commonly
041021 - applied in accounting to identify negatives, e.g., <$45.16>, and these
041022 - are beyond column 45, which is beyond the area for anchors, and
041023 - further this one was beyond the column where macro 541 that jumps the
041024 - cursor to the left margin returns and error message that shuts the
041025 - thing down, because it normally is used for editing.  Correction was
041026 - to add a flag that tells macro 541 to exit after positioning the
041027 - cursor on the left margin, and setting the column position, and not
041028 - issue the error message, so that processing returns to 070405 and
041029 - keeps chugging.  This merely required applying the same one line flag
041030 - developed for 070205 that macro 541 for similar purposes in the F2
041031 - save op. ref SDS 51 E15J
