Article summary

When upgrading FIMS to a newer version the following errors may occur:
 
 ** Error Compiling \npo\found\fims\gui\GL\B-CHART.W
 ** Error=** More than 2048 items in a single statement. Use the -tok parameter. (136)
 
 This applies if there are any compile errors related to -tok or -inp for b-chart.w.
  

Answer:

Important: Confirm all users are logged out of FIMS before doing these steps.
 
 1. Go to npo\found\configfiles\wfound.pf and open this file in notepad.  Look for the line with tok.
 2. Comment out the -tok line by putting a ‘#’ at the beginning of the line or you can delete the line and then remove the extra space from where it was deleted.
 
The screenshot below is an example of what commenting out that line would look like: 

 

This screenshot is the typical out of box wfound.pf without that line: 

3.Click Save to save the file.
 
4.Open FIMS > Tools >System Utilities > Run Procedure > Browse & highlight this file: NPO\Found\FIMS\gui\tools\update\updateWFoundPF.p"  > click open

  • After running the tool check and make sure that the wfound.pf file was updated by looking at the date stamp on the file found here:

           \npo\found\configfiles\wfound.pf
 
 5. Exit out of FIMS and re-log in. (Wfound.pf is read only when first starting so you will need to exit FIMS and re-log in)
 
 6. Run the compiler to confirm the error is gone.  Tools >System Utilities >Admin Utilities > FIMS Compiler. You can just choose the GUI folder and click Compile:
 
 Be sure that there are no errors when re-compiling GUI.
