Explanation

Cart Length field in a log displays the length with digits incorrectly shifted left

Opening (viewing) a log.

This occurs in two situations:

1.When a log has been edited and saved with an editor that support the 999 minute, 59 second cart length standard, then subsequently edited and saved with a log editor (CMED versions 2.3P and prior) that does not. When opened in this application or DCS, the length characters are shifted left one character, resulting in invalid cart lengths for all audio records.

2.When the user is using an old revision of LogMerge that incorrectly writes the cart length in a log.

Solution:

Open the offending log in ezEdit, then update all cart lengths from the menu item Utilities | Update Spot Records. You can update cart length only, description only or both.

The original cart description is not affected by the described problem, but will be changed to match the matching inventory cart information if you choose to update the description when updating spot records.


"Invalid Class Typecast"

Log Print or Print Preview.

When attempting to print preview a log, this message occurs. The cause is the current default printer is not available. The Print Setup dialog displays nothing for the selected printer and the Setup button is disabled.

Solution:

To correct the problem, you must close ezEdit and select a different default printer.

ezEdit requires that a printer be defined in the operating system in order for any of the print functions to work properly.
