Hello

We recently converted our Acucobol 6.2 projects to 7.2.2. Now when we make changes to a grid (add or remove columns in Columns Setting) we get the following message box:

?Changing this property will cause some unknown DATA ITEMs at Working Storage to be replaced. Do you want to replace them?? (Yes/No)



What causes this message and what does it mean? When we reply ?No? everything seems to generate and compile OK. When we reply ?Yes?, the Working Storage is messed up to the point where the program compiles with dozens of errors. Is there a way to stop this message from appearing?

Thanks

Acubench is trying to create/modify working storage items (the .wrk file)

We avoid this our application with the small exception of things like say handles which we just let acubench go ahead and look after.
All other working storage items we have in our main source file.
