Dunno what else to blame it on, but since updating from AS 1.6 to 1.8.3,
I've found an error in one of my scripts that makes me wonder if I've
encountered a significant change in behavior for the "open for access"
command.
In a "try" block, I had the line (where thPath was a string):
--
set thRef to (open for access thPath without write permission)
--
When there was NOT such a file, the error number was -43, which I trapped
and the script continued, noting that the file in question did not exist
(which, in my case, meant there were no "to do" entries for a given day).
Since upgrading to 1.8.3, if the file doesn't exist, the same script line
returns a -39 error:
(*End of file error., -39*)
AND (here's the rub . . . ) it creates an empty file!
Is this a known (and intended) change?
TIA,
Dan Feather
