Problem:
When trying to open a MFE project that worked the day before the MFE title bar is displayed, but MFE never finishes opening the project. It appears to loop or hang. The Windows Task Manager shows MFE.EXE is taking up 50% of the CPU processing time.
Resolution:
This loop (hang) was caused by a previous edit of the Cobol source. The programmer deleted the INT and IDY files from the MFE loadlib, but when they exited MFE, the Edit session was left open. Upon a subsequent open of the project we went looking for the IDY file because Breakpoints had also been previously set. By closing MFE, going to the Windows Explorer and renaming the .DBS file we were able to get into the project since this time the Cobol program was opened in Edit without the IDY loaded by the Editor. Precautions should be taken to close edit sessions prior to closing MFE.
