337.0. "TOOMANYVER error while copy. Why ?" by PADKOA::COSTEUX (Le Plat Pays qui est le mien...) Mon Mar 17 1997 11:56
While doing the command
copy/log/before="-300-" s*.com;* ina.del
... I get the following behavior. Can somebody explain ?
%COPY-S-COPIED, USERS8:[COSTEUX]SCA_PAK.COM;2 copied to
USERS8:[COSTEUX]INA.DEL;2 (2 blocks)
%COPY-S-COPIED, USERS8:[COSTEUX]SCRIM.COM;22 copied to

-SYSTEM-W-TOOMANYVER, too many higher file versions
%COPY-W-NOTCOPIED, USERS8:[COSTEUX]SUM.COM;3 not copied
%COPY-S-NEWFILES, 2 files created
I made this try on a system running OVMS-AXP V6.2
The same kind of problem occurs on a system running OVMS-V5.5-2 (not
supported) but the errors are:
%COPY-E-OPENOUT,...
-RMS-E-FEX,
It seems that these error appear only while using the /BEFORE
qualifier.
Any comment is welcome.

| TOOMANYVER, too many higher file versions
Facility: SYSTEM, System Services
Explanation: The maximum number of file versions already exists for the
specified file, and all existing version numbers were greater
than the specified version number.
User Action: Change the version limit of the file or delete some of the
existing versions.

I suspect that you had ;* on the end of that command.
There are three things to consider.
1. Do you want COPY to create a single output file from multiple input
files or an output file for each input file?
2. If multiple output files, do you want COPY to preserve the input file's
version number?
3. Does the output file (or directory) have a version limit?
First of all you need to decide which in 1. you are trying to do!
The command as shown will create a single output file (by copying the
first file and appending the remainder) and you will not get the errors
that you show.
Note that the output file could get a version limit because there is
already one or more versions of the file in existence and they have a
version limit or because the directory has a version limit to apply by
default to all new files (where a version does not already exist).
I will assume for the remainder of this reply that you are trying to
create multiple output files. To achieve this, some part of the
output file spec must be wildcarded.
If the version is wildcarded or something else is wildcarded and the
version is omitted completely then COPY will preserve the version number
and if there is a version limit you can get TOOMANYVER. If you wish to
preserve the version number in this case then you will have to get rid of
(or increase) the version limit.
If the version is just ";" (but something else is wildcarded) then COPY
will create a new higher version for each file copied and if there is a
version limit, some of the files created first can be purged out i.e.
deleted. If you wish to have a copy of each file you will have to get
rid of (or increase) the version limit.
> It seems that these error appear only while using the /BEFORE qualifier.
I am not able to reproduce that (Alpha V6.2).
Presumably /BEFORE affects which files are selected. Depending on the
order in which files are selected and what versions they have you will
get different behaviour.

| The goal is to create a single output file containing all selected
files. There is no version limite either on the directory file or on
the files involved during this copy.
The behavior is the same with or without the ";*"

| : The goal is to create a single output file containing all selected
: files.
Have you tried this same test using APPEND?

| 337.5 | Solved. | PADKOA::COSTEUX | Le Plat Pays qui est le mien... | Tue Mar 18 1997 09:42 | 10 |
| No I've not tried.
Seems that without the version spec. the pb. goes out. I and the
customer we tried it and it works. Looks ok for the customer. He told
me that the same command file worked fine (with the version spec.)
in February. I'm septic.
