233.0. "Can't open any APPLICATIONS from FileView...." by TIMAS1::HEFTI () Fri Feb 17 1989 04:21

Cant, start any applications,utilities ... from FileView
--------------------------------------------------------

My configuration:   VAXstation2000 with RD54,14MB RAM,4 Plane,
                    VMS 5.1 with DECwindows 5.1 
                    (KIT copied from Valbonne VISA::SYS$KITS...)


My problem      :  When I'm trying to start something from my
                   FileView menu I get the following messages
                   in the Task Output window:



%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters
 \_MBA141\
%DCL-W-IVQUAL, unrecognized qualifier - check validity, spelling, and 
placement
 \WRITE\
%DCL-W-UNDFIL, file has not been opened by DCL - check logical name
%DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling
 \VUE$COMMAND\
%DCL-W-UNDFIL, file has not been opened by DCL - check logical name
%DCL-W-UNDFIL, file has not been opened by DCL - check logical name
%DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling
 \VUE$COMMAND\
                                .
                                .
                                .
  ... and again, and again until I stop this process !


P.S  --> - I installed the whole DECwindow Kit two times without any
           success (Same result !)
         - The same kit works just fine on other Stations 

What am I doing wrong !   
                       
                            Thanks in advance for any help

    It looks like you have a symbol definition for one of the DCL commands
    the FileView subprocess uses. Specifically, it looks like "OPEN" is
    defined to be something else... Check your LOGIN.COM and SYLOGIN.COM.

 Thank you for your input.
 This is exactly my problem. I defined  OPEN :== Child/nocommand 
 in my Login.com. Simple, bud......!!
