I'm confused about the following,
The protections on the DECmcc dictionary file should allow read/write access.
-rw-rw-rw- 1 caille 999424 May 25 13:37 /usr/users/caille/mcc_dev/mcc_system/mcc_dev_fdictionary.dat
However, when starting DECmcc Dictionary Administrator Program
the dictionary is open for read-only access
solix:mcc_dev> mcc_dap
%DAP-S-USE_DICT_RDONLY, Using dictionary file: /usr/users/caille/mcc_dev/mcc_system/mcc_dev_fdictionary.dat, with read-only access
DECmcc Dictionary Administrator Program Version T1.2.7
DAP>
Could somebody tell me what is wrong ???
Jean-Mary.

Jean-Mary:
The following paragraph was extracted from the DAP section of the latest
version of the Toolkit Reference Manual. Hope this helps to explain your
situation:
DAP automatically tries to open the dictionary file with read-write access.
The status message that is displayed when you run DAP tells you if the
dictionary is opened with read-only access; otherwise the dictionary is
opened with read-write access. If DAP can't open the file in read-write
mode, it will try to open the file with read-only access. DAP will not be
able to open a dictionary file at all if another DAP session has that
dictionary file opened with read-write access.
==> DAP will open a dictionary file with read-only access if another
==> management module or DAP session currently has the file opened with
==> read-only access.
- Jerry
P.S. It may be advisable to peruse the latest version of the TK Reference
Manual if you can.

Hello Jerry, thanks for your help... the two paragraphs your mentioned in your reply held me a lot to undersand my problem. Actually, I'm using the Toolkit Ref in the bookreader format, which does not include, as far as I known, any concern about concurrent DAP access. So that I'm going to copy the Postscript version of this document. Thanks again for your help, Jean-Mary. | |||||
