1995.0. "dangers of /REENTER?" by SUOSW3::HAMANN () Mon Dec 21 1992 07:28

    Hello,
    
    I have an application, where I would like to produce a document
    within a batch job. This would require to /REENTER ALL-IN-1.
    
    I have read 1651 about the dangers of doing so, and would like to
    elaborate a bit further.
    
    My application is a bit strange, but this might help here.
    
    1. The file cabinet is not used, all documents are naked VMS-Files.
    2. The batchjob does only some MEGE_LIST processing within ALL-IN-1
    
    Would it be safe to REENTER in this case? Does MERGE_LIST access
    WPSDEF? If so, could I redefine OA$USER or some other logical to point
    to a different directory for the batch job?
    
    Are the restrictions of /REENTER documented somewhere in detail?
    
    This application should work with 2.4 and 3.0.
    
    Thanks for your advice
    
    Klaus

	As long as none of the files are WPS-PLUS (.WPL), WPSDEF won't be accessed. Dave.
1995.2	V3.0 new feature ...	BRUMMY::MARTIN::BELL	Martin Bell, TCC, Birmingham UK	`Mon Dec 21 1992 15:06`	6
	Isn't there a BATCH merge queue in ALL-IN-1 IOS v3.0? Would that do the job you want? mb
1995.3	can't wait for 3.0	SUOSW3::HAMANN		`Mon Dec 21 1992 15:15`	14
	Hi, thank you for your fast response. re .1 The files ARE WPS-PLus files! re .2 V3.0 would do, but I need a solution for 2.4 now! sincerely Klaus
1995.4	Oops	BRUMMY::MARTIN::BELL	Martin Bell, TCC, Birmingham UK	`Mon Dec 21 1992 15:39`	7
	Oh dear, i don't think that WPS-PLUS works in BATCH in v2.4, and MERGE_LIST uses WPS-PLUS code. Maybe i am wrong, or maybe you could do the same job using the ALL-IN-1 MERGE function instead. mb
