"Error: Not a Prefixed File" with Macros on DEC PCSA Pathworks |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
When a user is saving and creating macros to a network drive using DEC PCSA Pathworks, the user receives the message "Error: Not A Prefixed File." If the macros are saved and created on a local drive, the user does not receive the error message. But, if the user takes those macros from the local drive to the network drive, the error message will appear. |
Answer:
This problem was caused by open file caching. The default was 15 seconds and the file was not written back to disk correctly. Thus, the prefix information was garbaged. The solution to the problem is to turn FILE CACHING off. Also, the customer may want to contact DEC and find out why the FILE CACHING was not working correctly. |
