I am using FORMS V4.0 on OpenVMS V6.1. I created two separate
Forms with customized menus by using the Menu Editor. I added a
RUN_PRODUCT (FORMS) statement in the Command Text Field of the Menu
Editor to call the second for one of the menu items in the
pull-down menu. When I run the first Form and select the option to
start the second Form, the second Form starts but the following
things happen:
- The second Form starts and the focus becomes fixed in the
second Form.
- When I move the mouse from the First Form to the second Form,
the mouse turns into the "in progress" clock symbol and the
form does not completely redraw.
- When I exit the Dorms by using the "magic menu" exit in the
pull-down menu, I receive a %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO (access
violation) error followed by routine listings.
Q1. Is there a bug in the FORMS procedures that does not allow the
RUN_PRODUCT command to work with FORMS ?
Q2 Has anyone else found a problem with using customized menus
that are used to invoke other menus ?
As a note, I tried the CALL_FORM routine instead of RUN_PRODUCT
and I got even more bizarre results which I will not go into at
this time.
