1634.0. "set disp/crea/node=NAME/noperm deletes logicals" by PCASSO::ROM () Thu Oct 26 1989 19:21

	I was told that I might have better luck if I post this here...

	When I use "set display/crea/node=NODENAME/noperm",
	most of the logicals in my process logical name table get
	deleted. The logicals that I create during login get blown
	away but sys$command, sys$disk, sys$error, sys$input and
	sys$output remain. Has anyone else seen this? I'm running
	VMS 5.1. Thanks.

1634.1fixed in DECwindows V2 (VMS V5.3)AITG::DERAMODaniel V. {AITG,ZFC}:: D&#039;EramoFri Oct 27 1989 15:3215
	The reply to QAR 02070 in the DECWINDOWS-IFT QAR database
	states that this is fixed in DECwindows V2.  A workaround
	I've seen people use in .COM files for detached processes
	(or subprocesses or batch jobs) is

		$ set display/create/node=NODE
		$ ... ! do things that use the display
		$ set display/noperm
		$ exit

	i.e. delay the /noperm until the last thing before the
	process terminates.

    I've used the following in my LOGIN.COM with no problems:

$  set display/create/node='node'/transport='transport'
$  alloc decw$display
$  set display/noperm decw$display:

    (The node and transport symbols are set up earlier in login.com)
    Note the colon in the third line IS VERY IMPORTANT.
