1670.0. "RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed" by TENNIS::KAM (Kam Worksystems 508 493 4972 (DTN 223) MLO1-2/C30) Fri Nov 03 1989 11:18

I copied a VAX Document text file to a tape to take home and convert to 
DECwrite by the following:

$ init mua0: file
$ mount /ov=id mua0:
$ copy filename.SDML mua0:[000000]
$ dism mua0:

I was able to reverse the process at home. After converting 50 pages into
a DECwrite .DOC file, I tried to copy it back out to take to bring the tape
back to work. I keep getting the following error:

%RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed
-SYSTEM-F-Bad attribute, bad attribute control list.

When I used backup to copy it to tape it worked fine. I was able to copy
it out to tape and bring the information to work.

	Any insights to this ?

	thanks

1670.1Wild guess... MTAACP doesn't support RMS Semantic tags on filesORAN::ORANDave OranFri Nov 03 1989 12:3210
If that's true, instead of copying the file, wrap it up in a backup
save set. Backup knows how to mount tapes, so all you need to do is:

Backup filename.SDML mua0::filename.SAVE/save

to save it, and

Backup mua0::filename.SAVE/save *.*

to restore it.

* Not so easy. I can never remember the label on the tape and if you do not
* supply the /label=proper_name, backup hangs the tape and the only way I know
* to dealloc the tape unit is to REBOOT. Therefore, I usually MOUNT/OV=ID
* to find the label and if I'm mounted I might as well COPY it.

1670.3SMAUG::MENDELWhat've we done to our fair sister?Fri Nov 03 1989 13:065
    How about writing the tapes label on the side of the tape, so you
    won't forget it?

    Or always set the label to LABEL, so you remember?
