3991.0. "Strange CDD problem when converting from TDMS" by OSBONN::PER (Per Nisslert, SWAS Gothenburg, Sweden) Thu Mar 20 1997 11:15

    As part of a VAX-to-Alpha port of an application we will convert from
    TDMS to DECforms. We do have the PRAXA product, but are experiencing
    what looks as CDD problems (surprised?). CVTDMS says something along
    the lines of "expected to find CDD$REQUEST_LIBRARY, found &�"(/$%&�.
    
    Yes, the output is actually garbled similar to the above, which to me
    indicates a bug in the PRAXA product. We have tried all sorts of tricks
    to verify the CDD, but to no avail.
    
    Just for the fun of it, I decided to try the converter supplied by
    DECforms. Lo and behold, DECforms at least gave a readable error
    message, similar to "protocol of object is CDD$DIRECTORY instead of
    CDD$REQUEST_LIBRARY". Looking at the object with all sorts of DMU
    commands, reveals nothing strange, it does look like a perfectly
    ordinary TDMS request library.
    
    Now, has anybody seen anything remotely resembling this?
    
    I might add that the CDD we are reading is in active use by the
    application developers on VAX without any (apparent) problems.
    
    Any ideas are welcome!
