Error description

• Can not add 'Add existing library'
  This problem is specific on Japanese worstations.
  I reproduced the problem on JAPON1DSY (Vinci
  454) on V5R14.
  The scenario is very specific and you have to follow
  it exactly.( for example, if you  directly 'Add
  existing library..' and choose csvtable.catvba, it
  works!)
  .
  Scenario
  1. Copy attached catvba (3files) on to the optional
  folder.
  2. Start CATIA
  3. Tools / Macro / Macros
  4. Click : 'Macro libraries'
  5. Select Library type : VBAprojects
  6. Click : 'Add existing library..'
  7. Choose plotter.catvba from inside the copied
  folder.
  8. Choose zumen.catvba continuously.
  9. Close Macro libraries dialog box and Macros
  dialog box
  10. Close CATIA
  11. Re start CATIA
  12. Tools / Macro / Macros
  13. Click : 'Macro libraries'
  14. Select(Double click) : plotter.catvba from
  Current libraries
  15. Click :'Run'
  ==>"CATIA V5 plot" is displayed
  16. OK
  17. Tools / Macro / Macros
  18. Click : 'Macro libraries'
  19. Select(Double click) : zumen.catvba from
  Current libraries
  20. Click :'Run'
  ==>"CATIA V5 zumen" is displayed
  21. OK
  22. Tools / Macro / Macros
  23. Click : 'Macro libraries'
  24. Click : 'Add existing library..'
  25. Choose csvtable.catvba from inside the copied
  folder.
  26. Open
  ==> An Error is displayed
  CNEXT-CATScriptErrorMessages .
  ScriptingErr_1140
  Open macro
  library "F:|NULﾶﾾ006ﾶﾾcsvtable.catvba".
  An error has occurred while opening the library.
  Make sure the path exists and check the library
  permission
  .

Comments

• The internal technical reason of the failure when
  trying to open the
  3 VBA projects delivered with this IR is an "Out Of
  Memory" exception raised
  by the Microsoft VBA API at the opening of the
  project called 'zumen.catvba'.
  You can see this "Out Of Memory" error displayed
  when you open only 'zumen.catvba'
  and when you Edit it in the VBA IDE ; when trying
  to edit the modules, you get a prompt error
  message "Out of Memory".
  When editing the 'zumen.catvba' project, I can only
  see one Module with a few code, but the size
  of the project is quite big for so few code. Editing
  this catvba file with the Microsoft tool DFVIEW.exe
  (DocFile Viewer) shows that this project seems to
  contains several other modules and forms.
  This file may be corrupted or generated with an
  incorrect version of VBA since it cannot be
  correctly
  viewed with the VBA IDE embedded in CATIA V5.
  Check the version of the used VBA that generates
  these projects.
  Can you edit all the modules and forms it contains?
  Another reason of the "Out of memory" problem
  may be due to a number of Public variables too big
  inside the
  VBA project.
