3177.0. "*WISH* Pre-instal check on RIGHTLIST identifiers" by GIDDAY::LEH () Mon Aug 23 1993 05:58

IOS 3.0 upgrade failed at post-instal phase with the following error:

    A1$POST running -- setting file protections

%DCL-W-BUFOVF, command buffer overflow - shorten expression or command line
%DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling
 \RIGHTS\
%DCL-E-INVIFNEST, invalid IF-THEN-ELSE nesting structure or data inconsistency

%A1-E-RETRY1, Please correct any reported problems before attempting
%A1-E-RETRY2, to install ALL-IN-1.

Looking into KIPOSTINSTALL.COM revealed the line

$       WA "$rights = F$GETJPI( """",""RIGHTSLIST"" )"

that must have triggered this problem when the length of this symbol exceeded 
1024 bytes.

Is it worth checking this potential error in pre-instal check given some
SYSTEM account is having more and more rights identifiers assigned by system 
management tasks, server management etc.
