Since you say you are a Pick novice and while I am not a programmer,
let me point out that DX is perhaps a unique Pick function that tells a
file-save to skip a particular file. So you may think you have a
particular file on a complete file-save tape, the DX'd file, most often
a source code file, is not there.

I once had a real costly experience with that so I got into the habit
of doing a dict listing with whatever attribute that was = DX before
each and every file-save.

And perhaps worse is DY which means save the file name and space but not the
contents.
Good luck with - or against - both.

Mea culpa. Sorry. Hadn't read the thread properly. Thought he'd restored
the source and said it was still running the old version, hence I figured a
compile would fix it.

Again, apologies. I'll go and get some more coffee. I can go without sleep
or coffee, but not both. :-)

The only thing I can suggest then is a "flush" then log all users off and
back on to make sure there isn't a rogue version of the old code floating
around in memory somewhere. (Been caught with that on a system using
"basic-prot-on" once upon a time.)

If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas (nothing new there!) ;o)

Ok, we have found the original source. Our contractor had moved it to
another file (ARCHIVE-BP CONTRACTMAKER). We only found it by chance.

I compiled and cataloged it and now it works file.

Thanks for all your help.

PS: Is there some easy way for me so search for a item called
CONTRACTMAKER across multiple files. Seems I need to know the file and
the item name to find anything.

Glad you got it sorted.


Or not, in my case. :-)

There's a basic prog called SEARCH-SYSTEM in dm,bp, which will do just that.
