"Save Workspace As" Bug

The Save Workspace As command fails if there is a query to store in the workspace. (MapInfo bug #11300.)

If you execute the Save Workspace As filename.WOR statement and there is a query to be saved and the preference to save queries in workspaces is set to on, the error message "Unable to save workspace" will appear and your program will crash. This bug exsists in MapBasic version 5.5 through 8.0.

Example:

  Dim sWorfile as String

  Open Table "States.TAB" Interactive
  Select * from States Where CentroidX(obj) < -96.0 Into WesternStates
  Map from WesternStates
  sWorfile = FileSaveAsFlg ("", "*.WOR", "WOR", "Save wworkspace as:")
  Save Workspace As sWorfile

  Dim sWorfile as String
  Dim sCmd as String  

  Open Table "States.TAB" Interactive
  Select * from States Where CentroidX(obj) < -96.0 Into WesternStates
  Map from WesternStates
  sWorfile = FileSaveAsFlg ("", "*.WOR", "WOR", "Save wworkspace as:")
  sCmd = "Save Workspace As """ + sWorfile + """"
  Run Command sCmd
