TITLE: "Unrecoverable Application Error" Using Long Path
PRODUCT: Ami Pro 2.0
DATE: 14-Nov-1991
PROBLEM:
The message "Unrecoverable Application Error. Terminating Current
Application" appears during an attempt to open a file from a long path
(thirteen levels deep).
SOLUTION:
"Unrecoverable Application Error..." (UAE) will result attempting to open a
file when the total number of characters in the path (including drive,
backslashes between directories and the file name) exceeds the 78 character
limit in the Ami Pro File / Open edit box. This may be the case when a long
path is specified and you type the file name without the extension of .SAM.
Everything will fit except all or part of the .SAM extension. For example,
you specify a path and file name that amounts to 76 characters. The program
needs to add the .SAM extension which brings the total count to 80.
NOTE: Normally this will occur when, in error, you are specifying a path that
is longer than an existing path. Since Ami Pro will open a file with a name
of 8 characters in a path of 66 characters (which is the maximum allowed by
DOS 5.0) without generating an error message, a path long enough to generate
the UAE message probably does not exist.
Modified Ami Pro files are available which will not produce a UAE even if you
type in a path that is too long. Instead, an informational message that the
directory does not exist will display. Contact Lotus Word Processing Division
Customer Service at 404-256-2272 and request the modified Ami Pro files that
will not produce a UAE if a File / Open path is specified that is too long.
