The information in this article applies to:
When closing an issue in a new Anomaly Tracking System (ATS) database, the following error occurs:
File 'onclose.prg' does not exist.
The sample database that ships with ATS includes a sample procedure that executes when the Status of an issue is changed to Closed. This procedure automatically assigns an issue to "Unassigned" whenever an issue is closed. The template database that ATS uses to create new databases is configured to use this stored procedure. However, the procedure file OnClose.fxp is not included in the new database directory.
There are two possible methods that can be used to avoid this error:
1. Copy the file "OnClose.fxp" from the ATS\Shardata directory to the
ATS\Template directory before creating new databases in ATS. This method
adds the functionality of the OnClose procedure to every new database
that is created in ATS.
procedure. The following steps outline how to do this:
a. Start ATS and login to the new database as the administrator.
b. Select Property Options Maintenance from the Tools menu.
c. Select Status in the Group list and Closed in the Name list.
d. Click Edit.
e. Remove OnClose() from the validation procedure text box, and
click Save.
f. Close the Property Options Maintenance dialog box.
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
1. Start ATS and create a new database.
2. Run the All Issues query.
3. Click New to enter a new issue into the database.
4. Change the Status property to Closed.
NOTE: The error message occurs.
