0706 - Summary/Objective
0707 -
070701 - Follow up ref SDS 7 0000.
070702 -
070703 - For some reason the Extract for Transfer failed this afternoon while
070704 - showing to Bill.
070705 -
070706 - Investigated to see why it crashes over the network. Turns out it also
070707 - crashes off the network, i.e. in the regular code. The problem is that
070708 - there were no tasks on the start date of the selection period.

0710 - Analysis
0711 -
071101 - One problem on Bill's computer is likely not enough memory because he
071102 - is using Windows 3x.  On os2, I have 752K, where he has only about
071103 - 420K or so.
071104 -     ..
071105 -     The analysis below inidicates this may not be the problem
071106 -     afterall.
071107 -
071108 - Another problem is that the thing is looking at the g: drive instead
071109 - of S when it is on the network.  That is an error.  I ran on my
071110 - computer and it crashed.  So the whole problem cannot be memory.
071111 -
071112 - It is called by macro 1172 from the menu.
071113 -
071114 - Research below seems to indicate the problem is in macro 935 in
071115 - 000005 about line 35, ref OF 3 line 20.
071116 -
071117 - We worked on this last at ref SDS 4 line 24 to create ability to
071118 - extract pointers for Publications, and previously at ref SDS 3 line
071119 - 303.  It does not seem like either of these efforts should have
071120 - effected the problem today, since they do not seem to effect macro
071121 - 935.
071122 - ..
071123 - Looks like possibly the work at ref SDS 2 line 34, may have
071124 - caused the problem, since it does effect macro 935, see also
071125 - ref SDS 2 line 93.
071126 -
071127 -  ..
071128 - Causation
071129 -
071130 - Actually it appears this is a unique problem where the start date of
071131 - the selection period is a date when there were no activities.  So we
071132 - need to modify the code to accomodate this situation.

071901 - Line 20 - this is the main code.  I got it to run with a 2 week
071902 - period.  Then tried a month and got an OS2 Trap 000e crash.
071903 -
071904 - Trying it again now after turning the computer off and back on.
071905 -
071906 - It happened again when I select a full month.  Will now try the full
071907 - month again under debug 100.
071908 -
071909 -
071910 - Line 230 -label datOnly, about 80 lines below, this is where macro
071911 - 935 is called from 000005.  It seems to be failing to make a list.
071912 -
071913 -     It works if the duration is less than a month, but not for the
071914 -     default time period.  However, that is because the start date for
071915 -     the selection period just happened to occur on a day when there
071916 -     were no activities, see "Causation" above.

072302 - we call a month.

072304 - Looks like we worked on this at ref SDS 2 line 93.
