Merge Skips One Record |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is doing a merge with a simple primary file and basic secondary file. The problem is that the merge will skip one of the records from the secondary merge file. We tried running vanilla, and the problem still occurred. But then, while we were still running vanilla, we retrieved the secondary merge file with the space bar, resaved it, did another merge and the merge was perfect, even after several times running the merge while running vanilla. Then, we put the old CONFIG.SYS files and old AUTOEXEC.BAT files back into the system, rebooted and did the merge again, and the problem duplicated itself. Solutions: This has been fixed on the 06/29/90 interim release. One user worked around this problem by replacing all of the END FIELD code with xxx and the End Record Hard Page Codes with zzz, then saving the file as DOS text and retrieve it again and replace the xxx with END FIELD codes and zzz with END RECORD codes. *This information is given as a troubleshooting option. |
