935.0. "Records not beginning with $ ?" by WELCLU::LI (Sau Ha Li, Welwyn) Thu Jun 25 1992 17:45

    Hello,
    
    ALL-IN-1 V2.4.
    
    
    I was told the following problem is documented in the Release Note, 
    but I cannot find one. Therefore, can someone suggest a solution for 
    this?
    
    
    In all logfiles for the housekeeping jobs contain :
    
    -W- SKPDAT image data (record not beginning with $) ignored
    
    
    The customer does like the look of this and we have to get rid of it.
    I have noticed that some logfiles for V3.0 still contain this line. 
    So I assume that whatever the problem is, it is still there. Right ?
    
    
    thanks & regards,
    Sau Ha

    Sau Ha,
    
    Which v3.0 logs in particular.
    STARS says this was fixed in DIAMOND BL90. 
    
    Indeed here is a STARS article written by Faith which even supplied the fix.
    
    Housekeeping Log Files All Contain DCL-W-SKPDAT... Message

    COPYRIGHT (c) 1988, 1989, 1990 by Digital Equipment Corporation.

    PRODUCT: ALL-IN-1 V2.4

    SOURCE: Customer Support Center/Atlanta USA

    PROBLEM:

    The log file in the OA$LOG directory which is produced from any
    housekeeping procedure, that runs on the system contains the following DCL
    warning message:

	%DCL-W-SKPDAT, image data (Records not beginning with "$") ignored
	%SMJACKET-I Commencing batch execution of Utility type......

    CAUSE:

    Any procedure submitted other than Delete Mail Addresses (DA) will result
    in this message due to an incorrect exit procedure in the SMJACKET DCL
    command procedure.

    SOLUTION:

    This is a restriction in the current verison of ALL-IN-1 V2.4. This message
    is only a warning message and does not negatively affect the running of the
    scheduled housekeeping procedure.  The message can be ignored.

    The OA$LIB:SMJACKET.COM command procedure invokes ALL-IN-1 and contains the
    commands:

	.if cli$util_type nes "DA" then exit
	cal set date oa$date
	. . .
	exit

    If the procedure being submitted is not DA, it executes the "THEN" part of
    the ".IF" statement and performs the exit from ALL-IN-1. But it then
    continues to the next command, which is an ALL-IN-1 command, and at this
    point the process is not in ALL-IN-1 and expects DCL commands.

    As an alternative if you wish to eliminate the message, you may wish to
    modify the SMJACKET command procedure using Customization Management as
    below:

    Find the lines that read:

	.if cli$util_type nes "DA" then exit
	cal set date OA$DATE
	get oa$function = "cal set date -" cli$gen_param oa$_TM_SETDATE_D
	date_convert cli$gen_param,OA$TM_DATE,7
	exit

    Change the above lines to read:
    
	.if cli$util_type EQS "DA" then DO SET_DATE_DA
	 exit

    Now create a new DO script in CM named SET_DATE_DA, and include the
    commands:
    
	cal set date OA$DATE
	get oa$function = "cal set date -" cli$gen_param oa$_TM_SETDATE_D
	date_convert cli$gen_param,OA$TM_DATE,7
	exit

    Once these changes have been implemented, both elements (the command
    procedure and the new DO script) must be moved live on the system (CM MLA
    MGT CSZ PME ML) before they will take effect.

    Hello,
    
    thanks for the fix. 
    
    The logfiles with the warning were created in March 1991 - left 
    behind from V2.4.
