Help - Transform readonly in V8 and now cant compile job
Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2008 7:05 pm
Hi, have posted on this before but now up a certain creek without a paddle
Basically my tail of woe is thus
Moved some jobs via export / import of dsx from v7.5.1 to v8
Realised job needed a transform that hadnt moved , so exported all transforms from 7.5.1 and imported
But realised after the event that the transforms were read-only in 7.5.1 (so also in v8)
And seems that the transforms are 'invisable' to the job that calls them , indeed they are 'red' in the transformer stage, and on compile get the usual 'array never dimensioned' problem.
Problem is cant re-import the transforms as read-write as cant overwrite the readonly versions, this leaves me in position of the whole project being useless because of one transform , on 7.5.1 could just overwrite the readonly version
I am sure someone must have encouted this kind of problem, I did with routines, (cant compile as readonly - and not useable until compiled) but as transforms are just macros that are expanded at when job compiled didnt think readonly would be an issue (strangly seems to 'detect' the standard transforms that ship with product)
I would be grateful for any suggestions - otherwise I have a weekend of building project from scratch
thanks in advance
