AEGetDescData of non-desc type 'reco' not a good idea

What does the above log message mean?


There are many posted console logs that contain this message, and it seems that they all refer to applications that fail to start.


The reco type is typeAERecord, a list of keyword specified descriptor structures, and is still documented, so in what sense is it a non-desc type or not a good idea?

A recipe that calls for swiss cheese won't work with non-swiss cheese.


The compiler needs the right cheese - that error is just talking about how it didn't get fed what it expected, not what it was fed. Check/confirm your cheese...I mean, (C++? SQL? JAVA?...?) data type. Make sure you're not feeding integers when maybe it should be text, etc. etc.
