Hi,

i have an issue with PB 2017 (R2) that we didn't have with PB 12.5

In PB 12.5, when you had an object that would not compile any more (ex. An object that inherits from another object, and in the ‘parent’ object, you change the return value to another datatype, so the ‘child’ object needs to be rebuild to ‘get’ the change), we did the following:

  1.  “Check out” the object -> normally you get an popup that the object has errors BUT the checkout was succesfully done
  2. Open the object with ‘edit source’ (because the ‘normal’ way is not possible) and correct the ‘Error’
  3. “Check In” the object
  4. Now you can open the object in the normal way (‘edit’)

But in PB 2017 R2, PB crashes at step 1…

Anyone having the same issue?

Greetz
Pieter

I've had this happen to me in PBv12.1.

The only way I could resolve it was to compile the object in question over and over, commenting out various section within the object until it generated a clean compile. Once that was done, work for a clean FULL BUILD.

Ensure that the PBLs in your Library List are in the correct order and that you have no test code included.

Once you have a clean Full Build, then you can return to the problem object and examine it in more detail. Usually your changes will actually take effect without blwoing up the app at this point.

it doesn't crash for me, works the same as 12.5.  check out, get the 'could not compile' error.  then it finishes checking out and i can use source editor to fix the error.

using wizsource and 2017R2 Build 1769

Bummer .. I hate those abends as you have no idea what module is even having the issue!   :-(

Have you tried before the checkout ...
    1) Optimizing all your PBL's?
    2) Doing a Full Build (I would recommend after step #1 for sure)?

I have not tested this fully, but the order in which you execute things may have an effect.



Order 1: do the change -> regenerate the object that needs to be rebuild -> check out -> works fine

Order 2: do the change -> full rebuild the application -> check out -> crash

Yep, the "hard" crash as you describe...

Hi Pieter;

  Does the IDE do a "hard" crash (aka just "go away" ) or do you get an error message before the IDE terminates?

Regards ... Chris
