1780.0. "LIST PROCESSING UNDER ALL-IN-1 V3" by NEWOA::WILSON_S () Fri Nov 13 1992 19:27

    Hi,
    
    I'm using list processing under version 3 of ALL-IN-1.  The list,
    spec and form documents are all in a colleague's shared drawer.  
    However, when I try to create the output document in that same drawer, 
    I get the message  "You must select a drawer owned by you."  I can
    create the output to one of my drawers and copy it in to the shared
    drawer without a problem.
    
    I have Read, Create, Delete and Control access to the drawer.
    
    Is this a restriction, or am I doing something wrong?
    
    Thanks
    
    Sarah

	An ALL-IN-1 shared drawer has an owner. The contents of the documents in a shared drawer and the file-cab directories are RMS files. In order that document access is controlled by RMS ALL-IN-1 requires that all the files are owned by the drawer owner. An application which creates a file in another user's shared drawer will usually fail because the user will not have the required privileges to access the directories and/or create files owned by another user. ALL-IN-1 has API functions which allow one user to create files which are owned by and placed in another user's drawer. Options such as Create, Edit and Copy Document have been updated to use these functions when required. Normally a temporary file will be created in the user's directory and then moved or copied to the destination drawer. Other options such as WPS-PLUS list processing and Document Transfer have not been updated to handle creating documents in another user's drawer. We already have SPRs for these problems. Richard
