Manually Editing the .qc7 File ( Outside of Results ).
3.1 Manually Editing the Results .qc7 file
If you must edit the .qc7 file ouside of the admin module:
Back up the original .qc7 file first!
After that, the most important rule is:
Delete the fastload files.
If you do not delete the fastload files, Results will rewrite the .qc7
file, thowing away your changes and restoring the previous .qc7 file.
The fastload files are listed in appendix C of the Results admi and
development guide.
Reading the entire .qc7 file takes quite a long time.
Therefore, to speed things up, RESULTS creates fastload files which
contain ASSIGN statements to directly load up the shared variables.
As soon as the fastload line is reached, these programs are run, and
*everything from this point on in the .qc7 file is ignored*.
To restore the fastload files, simply go into Administration and then
leave it. RESULTS will re-write the .qc7 file, fixing any sequence
numbers and re-adding the fastload line. It will also rebuild the
fastload files to match the .qc7 file.
Results writes the fastload files to your working directory by default
but many sit administrators will move them to the directory where the
database lives so that everyone uses the same fastload files
