Sprezzatura FAQ Pages

This is due to a bug in one of the dictionary items in the COURSES_STUDENTS table called KITEMARK_LEARNER.

Until we ship a fix, the way to fix it is as follows.

Go to TCL

at TCL type

:DICT COURSES_STUDENTS KITEMARK_LEARNER

You should see a window with information filled in and a title of 'Dictionary'.

Go to the 'Formula' prompt and press F3. A 'Zoom' window will open. Scroll down to line 7 which should read

AwardDate = @Record<5,-1>

Replace this by putting a star (asterix) at the beginning of the line like this

* AwardDate = @Record<5,-1>

Now press the Enter key so that you are on the next line (Kitemark = ....) and press Ctrl-N to open a new line.

In this new line type the following

AwardDate = @Record<5>[-1,"B":@Vm]

It is very important that you type this exactky as you see it. Perhaps cutting and pasting from this FAQ might be an idea.

Now press Shift-F9. The system should show you stars and then report that compilation was successful. If it does not then you probably haven't typed it exactly as you saw it! If it does then press to go back to the DICT window then press F9 to save. At this stage you should be in a blank dictionary window so out and all should be hunky-dory!
