Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-11 11:27:28 EST 
If you attempt to apply patch you get an empty error box.

STEPS
1) Create a simple class with an empty main method.
2) Release it to a Stream
3) Edit the main method to have some content
4) Execute Create Patch
5) Save the patch external to the workbench
6) Catch up to the stream - change will be lost
7) Select Compare With-> Patch
8)Select the external file
9) The change will be shown
10) Hit Finish
11) You will get an empty error box.

Please note

This problem happens if you create the patch from the project but select the 
file to compare with.

if you instead use the project to create the patch and bring it back in the 
patch will open a compare editor. If you bring in the changes and select save 
nothing is updated.

Compare With Patch is Compare functionality, not VCM. Moving PR.
