489.0. "UNDEFUSER with ALPHA_SDL EV1-50" by COOKIE::FROEHLIN (VMS...riding into the setting sun!) Thu May 08 1997 14:06

    I just installed ALPHA_SDL identification: "EV1-50" built 18-OCT-1995.
    
    Here's what surprise I got:
    
    $ SDL /ALPHA /LANG=BLISSF=MMS$OBJ: /LIST=MMS$LIS: /SUPPRESS=(TAGS) -
      /COPYRIGHT /NOCOMMENTS /NOHEADER  MMS$SRC:MBX_DEFS.SDL
    
      1862  AGGREGATE p_unbind_rs_t STRUCTURE PREFIX mb_ur TYPEDEF;
      1864      p_code          p_code_t;
      1865      set_id          set_id_t;
      1867  END p_unbind_rs_t;
    
      1876  ITEM p_unbind_ss_t p_unbind_rs_t PREFIX mb_us TYPEDEF;
    
      2009      unbind_rs           p_unbind_rs_t;
      2010      unbind_ss           p_unbind_ss_t;
    %SDL-E-UNDEFUSER, Undefined user type name p_unbind_ss_t referenced 
    								[Line 2010]
    
    This worked fine with an older VESTed SDL image. What shall I do?
    
    Thanks

489.1Odd bug from the looks of it...STAR::DIPIRROThu May 08 1997 18:216
    	Looks like a bug. You should QAR it (the SDL component in the
    EVMS-RAVEN database). This looks like an SDL front-end problem and not
    specific to the BLISSF back-end (which doesn't get a lot of testing).
    Did you try it without suppressing tags? I'm wondering if that's where
    it's getting confused. Pretty odd that this behavior would have changed
    since very, very little has changed in the SDL front-end.
489.2QAR: TRIFID::EVMS-RAVEN #1097COOKIE::FROEHLINVMS...riding into the setting sun!Fri May 09 1997 15:237
    Steve,
    
    I have logged a QAR: TRIFID::EVMS-RAVEN #1097. Sounds odd that no one
    else has seen this...a typedef of a typeddef aggregate fails.
    
    Thanks

489.3Thanks...STAR::DIPIRROMon May 12 1997 12:397
    	I agree that's it's odd that no one has stumbled across this
    problem. We've tried it with the latest SDL (EV1-53), and it's still a
    problem. The problem dates back to at least the V7.0 release of OpenVMS
    Alpha and maybe before.
    	Thanks for QARing it so that it doesn't fall through the cracks.
    Getting it fixed may take some doing, given the lack of resources to
    spend much time on SDL these days.
