Add or Copy Language

[Lee 0]

Playing with Languages somewhat related to recent discussions on TMG-L, I tried to [Add] a Custom Language.  After entering the name of the new Language (German2) , I clicked [OK] and got the error message:

     Variable 'CGERMAN2' is not found.    42 FRMMODIFYLANG.MCOPY

I clicked [Abort] and tried to [Copy] German and again entered the new Language name (German2) and got the error message:

     Variable 'CGERMAN2' is not found.    39 FRMMODIFYLANG.MCOPY

This is following all the Maintenance routines which noted no problems.  I tried the Maintenance routines (including Reindex) again and got the same thing.

This is with a new installation of v9.05 on Win10 and with an Import of a v4x data set.

Any ideas?

Lee,

I can add German2 with no error.

I'd guess that the maintenance routines do not work on the strings table. I suspect that TMG reindexes it when it changes and an external .DBF tool is required for real maintenance.

If you want me to pack the .dbf and .fpt, send me the three strings files.
