Using the Update Assist (Developer Studio 7.6)
Has anyone managed to get the update assist to work.

I got the following focus file.
FILENAME=ECADVISOR , SUFFIX=FOC , $
SEGMENT=ADVISOR, SEGTYPE=S1, $
FIELDNAME=CSS_USER_ID, ALIAS=E01, USAGE=A7, ACTUAL=A07, $
FIELDNAME=EIN, ALIAS=E02, USAGE=A9V, ACTUAL=A09, $
FIELDNAME=FORENAME, ALIAS=E03, USAGE=A30V, ACTUAL=A30,
MISSING=ON, $
FIELDNAME=SURNAME, ALIAS=E04, USAGE=A30V, ACTUAL=A30,
MISSING=ON, $
FIELDNAME=OUC, ALIAS=E05, USAGE=A9V, ACTUAL=A9,
MISSING=ON, $
FIELDNAME=GRADE, ALIAS=E06, USAGE=A10V, ACTUAL=A10,

FIELDNAME=LEVEL_3, ALIAS=E09, USAGE=A9V, ACTUAL=A09,

FIELDNAME=LEVEL_4, ALIAS=E10, USAGE=A9V, ACTUAL=A09,

MISSING=ON, $
FIELDNAME=SKILL_LEVEL, ALIAS=E12, USAGE=A20V, ACTUAL=A20,
MISSING=ON, $
When I run it compiles but when you try to add data using the input screen it states no data found.

Any ideas

Not yet on 7.6, only 7.1. I have used UA extensively with no problems. To help I'll need a bit more info please.

At which point does it say no data found? When you select new... from the navigation or when pressing the save button?

Which navigation option are you using within UA?

Are you running on an SU?

Have you had a UA running in a previous release?

Something just came back to me.

Does the message you are referring to appear in the message area?

I have tried the previous version but with no joy.

Maintain Wizard
First, make sure the .FOC file is in the same directory as the .MAS file. If not, create it.

Is this a new FOCUS file? If so, then depending on the navigation chosen you have to get the first record in. If you picked Tree navigation:

1) Open the folder next to ecadvisor
2) Right-Mouse click on the rectangle next to [no-data]. The word New appears. Click on it.

Drop Down Navigation
1) Select [new...] from the drop down box

If none of this helps, please let me know the exact steps that you are taking in creating the UA application and at run time.

Thank you

It starts to create the maintain routines but Developer Studio crashes.

You will have to be a bit more specific with what you are doing to get a swift answer.

Firstly you state that when you try and add data, the input screen states no data found.

Then you say it starts to create the maintain, but DS crashes. So you haven't got a Maintain compiled yet, so you cannot get a no data found error message, can you?

Single sentences responses are not enough for anyone to help you.

Please describe what options you are taking, how you are creating the UA. And check the basics like where is the data and how does maintain find it. Are you using an SU? Maybe check your EDASPRF and SUPRF.

I have to work from the basic scenario that I have currently over 20 UA programs running, some simple, some very complex, none gave me any issues. So it is not like I can say, "oh it always acts this way unless you do blah blah".

Please be more specific in your responses so that we have an idea of what could be incorrect and then help you.
