Subject: “not a sub or function name! prepare note to copy drag”

Problem In Lotus Notes, pasting a button or opening a document containing a button results in the following error message:

“Not a sub or function name: <subroutine/function name>”

This situation occurs when the button is coded with LotusScript and the code references a Script Library.

If you are opening a document, the document will open successfully but clicking a button within the document will again cause the error message.

Additionally in Notes R6 only, this error also occurs when opening a forwarded document containing a button as described above.

Solution

This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# BMGH5WKPZ2 and was fixed in Notes 6.0.5 and 6.5.4.

Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Domino Release 6.0.5 / 6.5.4 MR fix list (available at IBM Developer):

Editor

SPR# BMGH5WKPZ2 - The error “Not a sub or function name” no longer appears after clicking a button while opening a document. This regression was introduced in 6.0.

There is an additional SPR regarding this issue:

MSTR5EDTDP: This SPR deals with an error that occurs when pasting a button or clicking a button. Product Development has determined that Notes is functioning as designed since an error should be returned if the referenced Script Library is not available.

A similar issue can occur when the Script Library is available but is not accessed correctly in cases where a Form Header is being used. For more information, refer to Document #1104996, “Form with Header Prevents LotusScript Libraries from Loading Correctly Causing Error: Not a Sub or Function Name.”
