360.0. "Product versions and saveset names for VMSINSTAL?" by THEBUS::KOSTAS (Wisdom is the child of experience.) Wed Nov 26 1986 13:00

    Hello,
    
       I was wandering if there is anyone that knows what should the
    save set names be if the following were real versions of a product
    named SAMPLE, which is to be installed using VMSINSTAL.
    
    Consider the following cases:
    
       1.  For  SAMPLE V1.0 I know that the save set name
           will be  SAMPLE010.A, .B , etc
    
       2.  What will then the saveset name be for 
    
              SAMPLE V1.05
    
       3.  What about  SAMPLE V2.3-345  
           (This reads as  SAMPLE Version V2.3 edit 345 )
    
       4.  Is there a DEC standard and if so where can I get info on
           versions.
    
    thanks,
    
    Kostas G.

360.1Developer's Guide to VMSINSTALDRAGON::ENORRISWhat is it, Miss Pfeffernuss?Wed Nov 26 1986 14:1426
    The product version number and update number are appended to the
    facility code as a 3 digit integer. The following example demonstrates
    the format for naming a product:
    
    facvvu
    
    where
    
    fac	is the facility code
    vv	is the current version number
    u	is the current update number
    
    So, Sample V2.3-345 would be SAMPLE023.A, etc.

    I don't know what to do with 1.05, rename it to 1.1 :-)
    
    You should also register the facility code with DIGITAL VMS Product
    Registar.
