Troubleshooting ABS If ABS fails to run from Windows, check the following:
Q: I just installed a new ABS.KSI key file, and now I receive the following error as soon as I try to run ABS: A: This error message indicates that the attribute for the ABS.KSI file is set to “read only”. The “read only” attribute must be cleared from this file before ABS can properly function. Refer to ABS Software Installation (step 3, “ Copy the ABS Software from the CD”) for more information. Q: When one (or all) of the users on our network run the Charge Design (MIX) or Alloy Additions (TAP) program, they get one (or all) of the following errors:
A: The MIX and TAP programs create temporary files in each user’s working folder when calculations are performed, then deletes these files when the calculations are completed. Error Codes 45 (unable to write file), 51 (file cannot be deleted) and 79 (file cannot be opened) all indicate that the network privileges for the ABS users have not been correctly specified. Error Code 70 (file specified status=“new” already exists) is often another indication that network privileges have not been correctly specified. It is imperative that every ABS user have network privileges which include READ, WRITE, and DELETE in each \ABS folder (\DATA, \HELP, \USER1, etc.). READ-only privileges can be specified for the \TASK folder. It is also imperative that each user run from their own unique user folder (i.e., \ABS\USER1). Users cannot share the same working folder. Also, multiple shortcuts can be created on a user’s desktop to automatically launch specific ABS programs and/or functions. Refer to Bypassing the ABS Main Menu for details. Refer to Setting up ABS over a Windows 2000 Network and Setting up ABS over a Windows 95/98 Network for more Windows Network setup information. Refer to Setting up ABS over a Novell Network for more Novell Network setup information. NOTE: A complete list of each ABS error code with a brief description is shown in the appendices section of the Systems Administrator’s Guide and the User’s Reference Guide.Q: When I try to run any ABS program, I get the message “Program requested is not installed on your computer” (or the message “Bad command or file name”). A: The most likely cause of this is the PATH statement hasn’t been properly set. Refer to ABS Software Installation for more information. Also, if you try to run an ABS program you haven’t purchased, you will receive the same message. Q: When I try to run any ABS program, I get the message “Your Master Directory does not exist” (or the message “ABS Set-up Error - Need ABS.INI file to proceed”). A: The ABS.INI file has not been created or is not set properly. Refer to ABS User Configuration for more information. Make sure that the correct drive is specified for the “Home Drive Designation” and “Location of Help Files” (and “Home Drive for Mars Heat Logs” if running the Management Reporting System). The folder for “Home Drive Designation” must be \ABS\DATA, and the folder for “Location of Help Files” must be \ABS\HELP. The drive letter, however, will depend upon the drive where the folder is located on your computer or the host computer in a multi-computer environment. Q: Why am I receiving the message “Cannot Open Error File F77L3.EER, error #69” when running ABS (or the message “Real Procedure Call file not found; specify full path or move file to current directory [See Section 5.3.2 in Lahey Programmer’s Reference] in pc_sort”)? A: This error means that the program SLFR.EXE is not located in the \ABS\HELP folder. This particular executable must be located in \ABS\HELP, rather than in \TASK. Q: Why am I receiving the following error message(s) when running ABS? Error Type-[Open], Error Code-[65], File-[C:\ABS\GLOG\000B2], Program-[GRDLOG], or Error Type-[Open], Error Code-[65], File-[C:\ABS\MLOG\000C9], Program-[MATLOG] A: This error means that the folder \ABS\GLOG (or \ABS\MLOG) doesn’t exist. ABS versions 6.0 and higher require two additional folders from the previous versions: 1) \ABS\GLOG (for historical grade/alloy adjustments files), and 2) \ABS\MLOG (for historical material adjustments files).
