Error in ADvance in vw771nc?

Wow, Yikes, and Thanks ... I'll give it a try.  Has the workaround worked for you yet? 

yes, it has

Did Cincom indicate they would fix it in the next version?

not yet (I hope)

Hi,

I've got a workaround from Cincom:

Please try the following.  In a VisualWorks session using an otherwise clean image but with the ADvance2 parcel loaded (Version 7.4.1_pr7.6 from Parcel Manager), please make the following changes:

1.  Create a new package for the changes.
2.  Extend class Parcel (i.e., Kernel.Parcel) in the new package with two new class methods and one new instance method.  You can put all three under a new 'unparceled' protocol.

         " Add these two Parcel class methods. "

         unparceledParcelName

             ^'***Unparceled***'

        unparceledParcel

             ^(self parcelNamed: self unparceledParcelName)
                  ifNil: [self name: self unparceledParcelName]

         " Add this Parcel instance method. "

         isUnparceledParcel

             ^self class unparceledParcelName = self name

3.  Override the following three methods in the new package:

         ICC.ADvance.AD2SystemOrganization>>parcelNamed: aParcelName
         ICC.ADvance.AD2SystemOrganization>>parcelNames
         ICC.ADvance.AD2SystemOrganization>>parcelNamesFor: aClass

4.  Replace the occurrence of

         Refactory.Browser.UnparceledParcel new

    in those three methods with

         Parcel unparceledParcel

5.  In the leftmost pane of the System Browser, select the "Package" tab, and make sure the new package is the only one selected in the pane.  Unselect both class in the second pane.  At the bottom, go to the "Prerequisites" tab and click on both Base VisualWorks and Advance2.  Use ctrl-s to accept the change.  You may also go to the "Comment" tab and add a comment to the package.  Go to the "Properties" tab and for "Post-load" on the left, replace the template [:package | ] with the following (replace Case425489 with the name you chose for your package)

         [:package | Kernel.ChangeSet current addPatch: 'Case425489' ]

6.  Publish the package to your Store Repository, or publish it as a parcel (right click on the package in the upper left pane and use the "Publish" or "Publish as Parcel..." menu item) or both.  If you use the parcel, publish the .pcl and .pst files to the same $(VISUALWORKS)\icc folder that contains the ADvance2.pcl file.

If you build a .im image file with Advance2 to distribute, load this patch package into it before saving the image.  Otherwise load it from the Store repository or the .pcl file before using the ADvance Workbench.

Hello,
I am also a heavy user of ADvance and got the same " Refactory.Browser.UnparceledParcel has no binding" exception.  Are others aware of the problem, and is there fix or planned fix for it?

Thanks,
Rick
