4966.0. "DECgraph doesn't properly respond to nointeractive mode" by TOOK::STAM () Wed Apr 28 1993 10:25

QUESTION:

o Are you able to produce graphic reports on VMS?  (Such as circuit
  hourly/daily reports)  

o Do you receive an error in your log file similar to the one below?

  $ datatrieve
  VAX DATATRIEVE V5.1
  Digital Query and Report System
  Type HELP for help

  :node4_circt_hourly_graph
  exit
  $ graph/load/nointeractive/monochrome= CIRCUIT_id000000810115405455 -
     CIRCUIT_id000000810115405455 mcc_reports_files:mcc_rpts_lgraph

  %SYSTEM-F-FILNOTACC, file not accessed on channel

ANSWER:

o It seems that the 'nointeractive' mode for DECgraph still expects 
  the input files to be seen on the command line and NOT from within
  a command file.

SOLUTION:

o Add the following line above *EACH* call to DECgraph, and at least
  this problem should be solved.

  $define/user sys$input sys$command

o The next release of the VMS graphic reports will already have this
  line added, this is just presented for those of you who can't wait.

4966.1Fix does not work in non-interactive modes.USOPS::HARBMon May 03 1993 12:2012
    The fix doesn't seem to work when the procedure is executed through
    batch or through a detached process.  It does work when the procedure
    is invoked interactively.
    
    I'm trying to run this procedure through an automated process to
    produce daily graphs on a weekly basis.
    
    Any possible work-around?
    
    Thanks,

Sorry, I still can't figure out a work around for this
one.  I am going to be looking into the DECgraph notes
file PIXEL::DECGRAPH to see if they have any comments.
So far, I haven't had the chance.
