0909 -
090901 - Follow up ref SDS 17 UP5W, ref SDS 6 OM3G.
090902 -
090903 - Gary clarified problems with SDS records.  One required a fix to SDS,
090904 - ref SDS 0 533K, and the other just had to press F2 to fix. ref SDS 0
090905 - 586F  Will submit updated SDS code so Gary can handle the first
090906 - problem.  Provide instructions with this record to fix the second
090907 - problem. ref SDS 0 FF43  Entered the list of contacts Gary submits
090908 - with his letter, which all belonged to the Aerospace company organization.
090909 - ref SDS 0 599I
090911 -  ..
090912 - Submitted SDS update with Gary's revised Aerospace company contact record, and
090913 - sent an email letting him know this stuff is available.

091304 -
091305 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary clarifying scope of the problem Gary
091306 - reported yesterday in his letter, ref DRP 2 0001, on fixing records
091307 - that should be there but aren't, and following up on my letter,
091308 - ref DIP 3 UY6N
091310 -  ..
091311 - Gary says....
091312 -
091313 -       This is the problem I was trying to explain. ref DRT 1 TK6L
091315 -        ..
091316 -       If you open the earliest Aerospace company record visible in the Diary
091317 -       list, there is an earlier record referenced. That record exists,
091318 -       and the link goes to it, but the record isn't visible in the
091319 -       Diary. ref DRT 1 KK7G
091321 -  ..
091322 - Helps to get a link, or a least a date and time for the actual record
091323 - that should be investigated.
091324 -
091325 -           Below, may have found this problem. ref SDS 0 586F
091327 -  ..
091328 - Gary continues...
091329 -
091330 -       This is the opposite situation to the one we fixed before where
091331 -       there were entries in the Diary where there were no records.
091332 -       ref DRT 1 XK7L
091334 -  ..
091335 - We should be able to solve this problem by opening the record and
091336 - simply pressing F2.
091338 -  ..
091339 - Actually, there is another problem record is on 030318, ref SDS 16
091340 - 0001, cited in Gary's record today. ref SDS 18 0001
091341 -
091342 -     Actually, this seems to be a separate problem, which we solve
091343 -     here.
091345 -  ..
091346 - Need to remind Gary to include the date in the SDS record for
091347 - citations to other records and documents, as shown in the para above.
091349 -  ..
091350 - I opened Gary's record and pressed F2.  Sure enough, it dies.  Nothing
091351 - jumps looks out the ordinary; this is not a pointer correction issue,
091352 - it is a format problem, as Gary notes.
091353 -
091354 -     a.  Could be the headline just below "Follow up," ref SDS 16 0001,
091355 -         which was discussed on 021013. ref SDS 2 HH9I  The format
091356 -         Gary is using conforms with requirements on 020113,
091357 -         ref SDS 2 HH52, so that should not be a problem.
091359 -          ..
091360 -     b.  Using < and > symbols which apply to anchors and HTML,
091361 -         ref SDS 16 OO5H, but that should be okay, because on 021111 we
091362 -         revised the code to handle entities. ref SDS 4 5S4J
091364 -          ..
091365 -         Another example in the same record. ref SDS 16 TL53
091367 -          ..
091368 -         I have a hunch it is something here that gets handled somehow
091369 -         or another that winds up being a problem.
091371 -  ..
091372 - So, it turns out Gary's formtting is all okay.
091374 -  ..
091375 - Did following review...
091377 -  ..
091378 - Line 70, ref OF 8 JU8G, -label strt1 in 0702051
091379 -
091380 -    Tried debug in the main routine and the thing never got there, so
091381 -    it means the problem is in macro 142 in 000008.
091382 -
091384 -  ..
091385 - Line 2330, ref OF 10 4240, -entry 142 in 000008
091386 -
091387 -     The obvious problem is outlining, because that is a slighlty
091388 -     complicated op that occurs prior to calling 0702051.
091390 -  ..
091391 - Line 2370, ref OF 10 RM6M, -entry 142 in 000008 about 40 lines below
091392 -
091393 -     macro 207
091394 -
091395 -         This is the outline thing.  Nothing is evident with what Gary
091396 -         has, but pretty sure this is it.  So, will be interesting to
091397 -         see what is actually happening.
091399 -  ..
091400 - Found the problem...
091402 -  ..
091403 - Line 900, ref OF 9 F27I, -entry 207 in 000000
091404 -
091405 -     The problem is subtle related to the way the code distinguishes
091406 -     bullet from other outline structures.  Bullets simply have to be
091407 -     jumped, since they do not require processing like ordered lists
091408 -     do.  Did this work in the record on 021107. ref SDS 3 M16N

091416 - This is the main problem Gary wants solved, per above. ref SDS 0 YK5J
091417 -
091418 - Gary's record on 030121 has a description "Aerospace company personal software."
091419 - ref SDS 8 0001  This record has a link to another record on the
091420 - same date, as Gary relates in his letter.

091424 -  ..
091425 - This record is not in the Diary summary, as Gary notes in his letter
091426 - per above. ref SDS 0 YK5J
091428 -  ..
091429 - Pressed F2 to fix the problem by saving the pointers.  It should now
091430 - show up in the Diary summary.
091432 -  ..
091433 - There was a slight hitch, in that there were two duplicate anchors,
091434 - which I corrected by changing one char in the anchor string, then
091435 - pressed F2 again.  The record was saved.
091437 -  ..
091438 - Openned the diary and the record is listed on 030121, as expected.
091439 -
091440 -     To avoid confusion, I am not going to send SDS records back to
091441 -     Gary, but will provide a link, so Gary can do this correction.

150805 - contacts, ref DRT 1 SA8G, per the letter yesterday. ref DIP 3 XP8F
150807 -  ..
150808 - Initially, since contacts are a common resource, moved my contacts to
150809 - another location and restored the files Gary submitted today to the h:

150820 - This seems to be all that Gary has changed from the Contacts I have
150821 - submitted.  The Aerospace company record has one more name, Bruce Mamont, in
150822 - addition to Malcolm, that we created in a training session on 030317.

150834 -  ..
150835 - Looks like everybody is in the same outfit and the same department.
150837 -  ..
150838 - Gary seems to have titles for some people.  For example Bruce Mamont
150839 - is listed as the M&S Manager, but he did not enter this for his title.
150840 - We can put the string in Description field, and if Gary wants to put
150841 - it in the title, he can move. it.
150843 -  ..
150844 - Some people are with ABACUS; maybe this needs to be flagged some way
150845 - or another.  We can create a Contract Employee field, and put ABACUS.
150847 -  ..
150848 - Gary may want to change the order of the listing using Ctrl F4 and the
150849 - F5 target command.  Typically, would position management at the top,
150850 - and people more frequently contacted near the top.  So, looks like
150851 - Bruce may fit the management category.
150853 -  ..
