Hi,

Can anyone tell me what is happening when :

- I press Testcompile after changing a dictionary-item

- The following message appears :

FS493 Group Format Error OS-file REV30000.OV contains an invalid header.

I know what a GFE is after 11 years of Arev development.

I am using OI4WG 3.7 on a Novell SBS 4.11 network with NLM 1.5.

The workstation is Windows NT 4.0 SP3.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Best regards,

Egbert,

Checked my own Revboot, and 30000 is SYSOBJ, i.e executable stored procedures.

That should be universal, too. If your REV30000.LK is fried, and you're using a development system, repair or replace your SYSOBJ table (FYI, runtimes use REV10000.LK for SYSOBJ).

If I was getting an "invalid header" error, I would probably opt for the "replacement" option. The nice thing about SYSOBJ, is that you should shouldn't need to dig through backups to find a copy of it. Just install a clean copy of the system and grab its REV30000.* files.

Scott,

Just install a clean copy of the system and grab its REV30000.* files

…and recompile all your own SPs, right? (Is there a fast way to do that?)

- Oystein -

Yeah, you do need to recompile any SP's you added. I started coding a "really quick" little routine that would compare SYSPROCS with SYSOBJ and do a repository COMPILE command for any entries of SYSPROCS not found in SYSOBJ, but I started make a huge slew of syntax errors (or otherwise unhelpful mistakes) and it has now officially frustrated me, so I'm going to work on something else and then resume this later today. I'll put it up here when I'm done (and see if I can wrap a KB article around it).

Just do something like

Ents=Get_Repos_Entities( @APPID, 'STPROC', '' )

Loop While Ents

 Remove NextEnt...

 Stat=Repository( "COMPILE", Ent...)

Repeat
