389.0. "Help on Fileview ?" by 45437::DAVIES () Mon Mar 13 1989 04:47

    I have looked at previous notes on FILEVIEW for help but so far to no
    use.
    When FILEVIEW Starts up on LOGIN, after about 20 secs, I get the
    message
    
    	"FileView stopped message number 10778088"
    
    What does this mean ?  I can spawn fileview from my DECTERM window, but
    not get it run on LOGIN.
    
    The H/W I am using, is a VS2000 (6Mb) in an LAVC with a VS3500 as the
    boot node, running SDC 5.1 software.

389.1	More data on original error. Any help gratefully received.	45437::DAVIES		`Wed Mar 15 1989 03:05`	27
	Here is some more info re .0 I created a file in SYS$LOGIN:, called decw$login.com. The file is shown below. <<<SYS$LOGIN:DECW$LOGIN.COM $ set verify $ define decw$vue_output pipkin$dua1:[user.davies]vue_errors.dat When I start FILEVIEW from the session manager, the request still fails with the error as in .0, and produces an error file as shown below. %SET-W-NOTSET, error modifying PIPKIN$DUA0: -CLI-E-IVDEVTYPE, invalid device type - specify a mailbox device DAVIES logged out at 15-MAR-1989 07:57:54.10 I first thought that something in LOGIN.COM or SYS$MANAGER: SYLOGIN.COM was doing a funny 'set' operation. I therefore removed all 'SET' commands from the files, and still the request to start fileview fails. Are there some other command files that are executed during this startup operation ? Stephen D

	RE: < Note 389.1 by 45437::DAVIES > Try reposting your notes in the FileView notes conference. I think you might get a quicker response there. Press KP7 to add it to your notebook... -ric. :-)

	Check for INQUIRE commands in your LOGIN and SYLOGIN command files. These will fail because SYS$INPUT is not a terminal device when you start FileView from the session manager. Tom

	Most likely candidate is a SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE. Or any SET TERMINAL commands. Either prefix them with a SET NOON or (better) make them dependent on F$MODE() .EQS. "INTERACTIVE". -Rick
389.5	Thanks...	45437::DAVIES		`Fri Mar 17 1989 03:23`	8
	Thanks for the suggestions, I will post the problem in the FILEVIEW conference. Stephen P.S. I had already looked at all the SET commands, and made them conditional.
