APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abstract:
  Open Status whereas the Part propertiy is modified by Macro .
  .
  Description:
  Activate the cache management in CATIA
  1- Create a new product A1
  2- insert in this product a new part P1.
  3- Save the product A1 and the PArt P1 on your local disk
  4- close and reopen the product A1.
  ---> P1 is in visumode
  5-Launch the attached CATScript.
  .
  Sub CATMain()
  Dim doc
  Dim collec_prod
  Dim prod
  Dim refprod
  .
  set doc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
  set collec_prod = doc.Product.Products
  set prod = collec_prod.Item(1)
  prod.ApplyWorkMode DEFAULT_MODE
  set refprod = prod.ReferenceProduct
  refprod.DescriptionRef = "toto"
  .
  End Sub
  .
  The goal of this script is to switch in design mode, the part P1
   and to modify its internal property description.
  ==> Result the description is well modified in the CATPart, but
  the status of the part is still open is save management.
  It should be modified.
  .
  The customer should develop an integration by Vb for the final c
  ustomer.
  That's why a Critsit is request on this topic.
  I have propopssed to use the following script as by pass, but th
  e customer does not accept it, because when he
  modifies several parts, CATIA flashes each time he opens or clos
  es the part.
  .
  Sub CATMain()
  Dim doc As Document
  Dim collec_prod As Products
  Dim prod As Product
  Dim refprod As Product
  Set doc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
  Set collec_prod = doc.Product.Products
  Set prod = collec_prod.Item(1)
  prod.ApplyWorkMode DEFAULT_MODE
  Set refprod = prod.ReferenceProduct
  Dim PartDoc As PartDocument
  Set PartDoc = refprod.Parent
  CATIA.Documents.Open PartDoc.FullName
  CATIA.ActiveDocument.Product.DescriptionRef = "toto"
  CATIA.ActiveDocument.Close
  .
  End Sub
