Ian Without overcomplicating things I have assumed this to be the opening +PAGE. It's the first entry currently shown in "Messages in FreeBMD" at: http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/error-help.html Quote: Possible error: +PAGE expected before first entry.

Does it mean not containing *any* +PAGE line, or not containing an opening +PAGE, or not containing a closing +PAGE? Ian ----- Original Message ----- From: Allan Raymond To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 1:57 PM Subject: More Stringent Checking of Files - New Criteria to be Introduced To Syndicate Co-ordinator Colleagues. I have taken on board comments from Co-ordinators following the recent introduction of stringent checking for Age at Death files. As a consequence this is to give ADVANCE NOTICE to Co-ordinators of the intention to adopt more stringent checking of files containing the following four types of errors: 1. Year mismatch between the File name and header contents. 2. Quarter " " " " " " " " 3. Event " " " " " " " " These files currently show up in the Suspect Report and are allowed upload to FreeBMD. Once the new stringent checking is introduced, these files will NOT be allowed upload to FreeBMD until corrected by the volunteer. 4. Files transcribed from scans not containing +PAGE. Currently these are allowed to be uploaded to FreeBMD and are shown with a warning. Following the introduction of the new stringent checking these files will NOT be allowed upload to FreeBMD until corrected by the volunteer. All four types of error are down to volunteers making basis errors when transcribing or naming their files and such files will require correction by the volunteer before they can uploaded to FreeBMD. We welcome comments from Co-ordinators before we introduce the new checking criteria, and comments by 6 December 2004 would be appreciated.
