What Does the Notes Error Message, "0c:03" Mean?

Category Software Development

If you've been doing Notes development for any length of time, you've run across this message.  The problem is that it pops up in a dialog box, and that's the *ONLY* thing in the dialog box.  No text, no explanation, no indication of what you've done to deserve such treatment.  This is also one of my pet peeves about Notes/Domino.  There are far too many errors like this that have no background information associated with them.  It may help the person who developed the Notes designer software, but it doesn't do squat for the poor application developer who gets the error and is at a loss as to what caused it and how to fix it.

Anyway...  I ran across the following entry in the KnowledgeBase today while researching an issue for someone.  While it doesn't tell you what to do about it, at least I now know what it means...

What Does the Notes Error Message, "0c:03" Mean?

Doc Number:  1090262

Problem
What does the error message "0c:03" mean?

Content
This error message means "No place to put mark".   The Notes Editor functionality uses items called "marks" to show where various things, such as blocks of text with various fonts and attributes, start and end.  If the editor is modifying/reading field contents, it needs to identify where this particular 'thing' (block of text, or paragraph, etc.) starts.  If it can't locate these marks it will display the "0C:03" error.

Comments

Gravatar Image1 - So, would it have been that much harder to make the dialog box say "0c:03 - No place to put mark"?? Or did they not want to go through all the effort of internationalising the message

Gravatar Image2 - Heck... they could have written it in Latin! At least we could have run it through a translation package to figure it out.

Gravatar Image3 - What the heck is a "mark"? They should have called them chunks (in my unbiased opinion).

Gravatar Image4 - And...how do I deal with this error message? My customer gets this error message when he tries to add an attachment to a new memo. How can it be solved?

Btw: nice live comments preview. Ajax maybe?

Gravatar Image5 - AHHHHH.... 3 years late and still I have this error... Emoticon

Gravatar Image6 - It would be nice if they said which mark as well, rather than leaving it to the poor deluded developer to try to figure out (with no clues whatsoever) which form element was causing trouble... Emoticon

Gravatar Image7 - I just had a user send me this #0C:03 error, but it was while trying to forward a form. To me that means it has to do with the mail client and I, the developer, have no control over that since it is an IBM template. So, even if I knew the marks I would be at a loss.

Gravatar Image8 - I was able to open the email after right clicking on it and selecting Copy Into New Memo at the bottom and resending it to the recipient.
