ALL-IN-1 2.4 WPS-PLUS V4.0
---------------------------
The customer sets host from a PC attached to a Microvax to an 8650:
+-------------+ Connects to +------------+
| MICROVAX | ---------------------> | 8650 |
| (User's | Prints to queue | (ALL-IN-1) |
| Login Node) | <--------------------- | |
+-------------+ +------------+
Print Queues:
LN05$PRINT <---- LN05$ANSI <-------- MVAX33$LN05$ANSI <---- LN05_ANSI_DQS
When printing from EM. I found that the cause of the problem was that a logical
had been incorrectly translated.
The logical : "sys$sysroot" = "$1$DIA0:[SYS0.]"
The job on the queue has:
MVAX33$LN05$ANSI : SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSCOMMON.DQS$SERVER]MAN000S11_WP4.LIS
LN05$ANSI : $1$DIA0:[SYSCOMMON.DQS$SERVER]MAN000S11_WP4.LIS
It should have been:
LN05$ANSI : $1$DIA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.DQS$SERVER]MAN000S11_WP4.LIS
Does anyone have any ideas as to why it is not translating it correctly....
Cheers,
Richard Simpson (CSC).

Yes. This is a fairly common one. The queue subsystem uses file
ids not filenames, so when it prints filenames it actually uses
LIB$FID_TO_NAME to convert the file-id to a name. This uses
a field in the file header to get the name of the file. This field
is not always correct, and is nearly always wrong for SYSCOMMON.DIR
due to the way the VMS installation procedure creates the
directory. Note that the logical name didn't get involved at all.
I have *NEVER* seen this actually cause a problem though, since
only people read the filespec, it is not used by the queue system.
However, you are using DQS which I am unsure about.
A simple fix would be to create a directory pointer to
$1$DIA0:[SYSCOMMON] to make the
$1$DIA0:[SYSCOMMON.DQS$SERVER]MAN000S11_WP4.LIS
a valid filespec. Something like
$ SET FILE/ENTER=[000000]SYSCOMMON.DIR [SYS0]SYSCOMMON.DIR
or you could try renaming [SYS0]SYSCOMMON.DIR to something else and
then back again (RENAME re-writes the back pointer I think). This
might be a bit risky as I'm not sure whether the image used by
RENAME would be found if you rename the directory....
In any case, fireproof underpants and good backups are in order...

Paul
