5498.0. "More problems with SCRIPT am" by STKHLM::BERGGREN (Nils Berggren EIS/Project dpmt, Sweden DTN 876-8287) Wed Aug 18 1993 04:35
Hi,
Having a lot of problems with the SCRIPT-AM
I've looked thru the topics regarding scripts, I don't think this
is related to any of the problems mentioned.
1. The script doesn't return 'Unknow entity' when requesting
information regarding a child entity which has not been created,
instead SCRIPT tries to execute the child-entity name as a
DCL-command....
2. Using DECmcc from DCL (like '$ MANAGE/ENTER SHOW ...')
doesn't work like expected. One part has to do with UPPER/lower
case but the other part is that I don't get the same results when
running mcc from DCL as interactively.
Attached log shows the problems:

!### When starting the IMPM and adding the script .abc into a domain
!### and looking into it, there's only the 'knp' Time-instance.
!### If I pick up the toolbox and create a Time-instance with the name
!### 'hnt', I get the form in which to fill in the description, command and
!### so on (so IMPM doesn't recognize the Time-instance hnt); *BUT* if I
!### create a Time-instance with the name 'HNT' IMPM recognizes it and no
!### form to fill in pops up. Shuld it be like this?
