We are currently in the progress of migrating to Doors 8.1. We have a lot of legacy DXL scripts that were used in Doors 7.1. Many of our scripts use the probeAttr_ function to obtain attribute values.
In some instances the scripts return DXL errors (incorrect arguments for Function probeAttr_) when run in DOORS 8.1 , yet the scripts continue to run in Doors 7.1.

(I know  It's our own fault for  using an unsupported (and un documented) DXL function........)

Apart from the new Date functions there does not seem to be any obvious differences between the probeAttr_ Doors 7.1 version in the  attrutil.inc  and the Doors 8.1 .

Has any one else had problem with the probeAttr_ function in Doors 8.1?  If so how did you fix it?

There do appear to be substantial changes to the routines, but I cannot see any extra parameters in a standard call to probeAttr_ eg probeAttr(Object, AttrName) or probeAttr(Module, AttrName) remain valid calls as far as I can see. You might try looking at the calls to the unicode functions?

Just a hunch, but did someone write their own probeAttr_ functions that are installed for version 7.1, but no for version 8.0?

Hi David,
just a guess: have you declared all variables which are used in the probeAttr_ ...?
7.1 was more 'forgiving' than 8.1.
Cheers,
Bernd
