TID101284 (gw5dob04) SetDefaults method & GW5.1 library CORRUPTION

From Developer Community

ABSTRACT:

The SetDefaults method (from the Document Object), which is used in the GroupWise 5.1 Object API, causes corruption in a GroupWise 5.1 Library.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The SetDefaults method (from the Document Object), which is used in the GroupWise 5.1 Object API, must not be used. When the SetDefaults method is called, it erroneously deletes the document object. But, if you subsequently assign a value to that same document object, then SetDefaults attempts to add to a deleted document record and the library becomes corrupt.

The GroupWise 5.1 version of SetDefaults must not be used.

The next version of GroupWise (currently in Beta development as of 20-May-97) has fixed this problem.
