234.0. "MSL Parse of Include File Name Drops Last Character" by COOKIE::KITTELL (Richard - Architected Info Mgmt) Sat Aug 04 1990 12:03

UT1.0.1 MSL Compiler

INCLUDE MCC_CONFIG_DIRECTIVES.MS

produces message saying no such file "MCC_CONFIG_DIRECTIVES.M"

adding a fool-em' character at the end of the file spec allows the compile
to proceed successfully:

INCLUDE MCC_CONFIG_DIRECTIVES.MSX
T.RTitleUserPersonal
Name		DateLines
234.1; expected as EOLGOSTE::CALLANDERMon Aug 06 1990 15:459
    
    The reason for the extra character is because the syntax is expecting
    the line to be terminated with a semi-colon ";". The translator
    must simply be expecting and NOT validating it. Try using the ";"
    and your MS will read better, and should this bug be fixed, still
    be compatible with the potential bug-fix.

234.2Works fine.COOKIE::KITTELLRichard - Architected Info MgmtWed Aug 08 1990 13:515
Duh. I don't know why the missing semi-colon wasn't obvious, it only
terminates every other statement in the file!

Anyway, I made the change as you suggested and it works fine.
