3724.0. "GOLD J and null pointer error" by KERNEL::VANRIXTELE (Emma van Rixtel) Tue Jan 04 1994 15:05

    I have a customer who is running WPS-PLUS V4.1 and has noticed a
    problem and wants to know if it has been recognised before. 
    
    They have a document which when they try to do a GOLD S followed by a
    GOLD J followed by a GOLD F to file the document when it is completed
    they get the following error, "error occurred during operation, calling
    null_pointer. Press exit to file document to last checkpoint"
    
    I can reproduce the problem every time, but it only appears to happen
    when the GOLD F follows the GOLD J command. When done in any other
    order, ie, GOLD J, GOLD S then GOLD F; everthing works as expected. It
    is a bit strange but the customer is concerned that this has not been
    noted before and wants to know if engineering are aware of the problem!
    
    So if anyone knows anything about this I would appreciate some more
    information as to why this might be happening, and will it be fixed in
    a future release?
    
    Thank you,

    Hi Emma,
    
    Maybe WPS-PLUS note 1027 is relevent ? I do not know what other effects
    the changes to LOOKUP.TXT may have.
    
    Regards,

    Thanks Clive,
    
    but what exactly does the lookup.txt do??? I have got him to fax me in
    a copy of his anyway just so I can compare it to this one.
    
    Emma.
3724.3Here's what I know...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeFri Jan 14 1994 12:5729
    LOOKUP.TXT defines which lexicons you have on your system (e.g.
    English, British etc.,) and which files they map to.
    
    Here's how I believe the entries are populated for American and British
    (proper :-) ) English, and what each line means:
    
    LOOKUP.TXT Entries for American English:
    
            ! Spell entry
            0   2   2   LCI$SCHMCO
            ! Thesarus entry
            0   2   3   LCI$ETHMCO
            ! Usage entry
            0   2   4   LCI$UAHMCO
            ! User dictionary
            0   2   5   LCI$UDHMCO
    
    LOOKUP.TXT Entries for British English:
    
            ! Spell entry
            0   5   2   LCI$SCHMCO
            ! Thesarus entry
            0   5   3   LCI$ETHMCO
            ! Usage entry
            0   5   4   LCI$UAHMCO
            ! User dictionary
            0   5   5   LCI$UDHMCO

    ... and the last line in LOOKUP.TXT should always be (all languages)
    
    		0  1  5  LCI$UDHMCO

    Re .4
    
    (Good to see you are still following this file, Stefan!)
    
    Does the "0 1 5" line have to be the last line, or does it just have to
    be there somewhere?
    
    On the live (but well hacked!) IOSG system, we have the american lines,
    followed by the "0 1 5" line, followed by the British lines, and things
    seem to work...
