| Sure, lots of people read this conference.
That error is usually caused by your not having a valid display defined.
Can the process you run the bookreader from see the definition of the
logical name DECW$DISPLAY?
I'll assume your reference to "VWS" in the title was supposed to be "VMS".

| 1404.3 | No DECW$DISPLAY | LEZAH::MCHIASSON | | Wed Sep 13 1989 09:24 | 8 |
| Yes, 'VWS' was supposed to be VMS.
I cannot see the logical DECW$DISPLAY when I try and show the logicals,
so I would assume that is the problem. What should DECW$DISPLAY
be pointing to?

When your session manager logs in, it creates a logical name in the job
table for DECW$DISPLAY. This logical is thus "visible" to the session
manager and any subprocesses it creates. However, if you create other
processes not in the job tree of the session manager (such as by
RUN/DETACHED), these processes can't see the definition and thus need to
have the display defined for them.
One obvious solution is to do a SET DISPLAY/CREATE as indicated in .3. My
solution is to copy the definition of DECW$DISPLAY into the group table
as follows:
$ DEFINE/GROUP DECW$DISPLAY 'F$TRNLNM("DECW$DISPLAY")
I do this in my DECW$LOGIN.COM.
I know of nothing that changed in DECwindows that would cause a difference
in behavior.
