Schedule Missing Extract Area

Problem!

'no extract area on this file' when making tool list or material takeoff from a schedule in MacNail construction scheduling software

Diagnosis

a bug, only on Scheduling Mgr dated 8/94, fixed 11/94
send new manager, or goto C94 to C98 in manager and fix as below

Solution

=IF(is.directory("::customizing:master files"),IF(safe.open(C92,"::customizing:master files",FALSE),GOTO(C96)))
=IF(safe.open(C92,":scheduling blanks",TRUE),,GOTO(C134))
=SET.NAME("crit.row",ROW(!Criteria)+1)
=IF(ISERROR(crit.row),IF(ALERT("Sorry, this file is missing its Criteria",2),HALT()))
=IF(safe.open(C93, ":scheduling blanks",TRUE),SET.NAME("blank.protect",GET.DOCUMENT(7)),GOTO(C132))

Note: not an easy fix. They have to select C97 and C98, cut, then hold down the option key and click at C96 to insert-paste them into the new location. Then the GOTO in C94 needs to be changed from C98 to C96.
